Spoonie Stories

Spoonie Stories, which has been described as “The Vagina Monologues for Chronic Illness” is a partially devised, partially scripted piece in development. The script will feature a series of letters that members of the chronic illness community wrote between themselves and their illness, a medical professional, a caregiver, or a loved one. The letters give raw, unfiltered insight into the impact these illnesses have on the people who live with them and bring representation to a community often forgotten about.

Featuring an entirely chronically ill cast, including four alumni of Queens Theatre’s Theatre For All Program, the play will showcase authentic stories for the community, by the community.
