I’m excited to share that I’ll be participating live on April 11th in New York at the 2024 NYC Dementia ARTS Festival, which will be held at the Marjorie Deane Little Theatre in Manhattan.

The festival is a program of the Dementia Spring Foundation and their partners, AlzAuthors and the Bob And Diane Fund.

I will perform a showcase version of Dementia Man at both an afternoon matinee and an evening program.

The program features the 2023 Dementia Spring Impact Award recipients. Performing along with me are several other Impact Award recipients, including:

• Jess King, singer/songwriter and creator of Here And Now
• Kim Blanck, actress and creator of Gloria, starring Emily Kuroda of Gilmore Girls. [Gloria is being PRIVATELY SCREENED at this year’s Festival] 
• Flako Jimenz, poet, playwright and advocate, creator of Mercedes, the stage play
• Arlieta Hall, actress, comedian, and creator of the original documentary film Finding Your Laughter 

The 2024 NYC Dementia ARTS Festival is a unique event featuring original work, expert panels, networking, and a vendor fair for aging resources. Proceeds fund artists and art therapists who bring hope, joy, and creativity to the dementia community through their work.

I hope you can make it!
