MY STROKE OF LUCK Joins United Solo Line Up

MY STROKE OF LUCK Joins United Solo Line Up Image

Did you know the average person looses 1.9 million brain cells every minute a stroke goes untreated? I knew; I'm a doctor, a radiologist who diagnoses strokes! But I did not deal with having a stroke very well. It was 21 hours before I drove myself to the hospital! Come see how that worked for out for us- me, a single parent by adoption family, and my 'tween, sons - one gifted, one special needs.

A spellbinding and funny look at love, family and seemingly insurmountable odds. 75 minutes, dramatic and comedic storytelling.

Diane is a black SF Bay Area based physician, NYC born and raised (HCHS), B.A Stanford (psychology) and Yale University School of Medicine. A Meisner trained actor, Diane studied with Anna Deveare Smith and Ann Randolph. "My Stroke of Luck" was developed at The Marsh with David Ford. My Stroke of Luck has played at The Marsh San Francisco and Berkeley, Canadian and US Fringe Festivals and the Los Angeles Women's Theater Festival. My Stroke of Luck begins a 6 week run at The Marsh, SF Nov 2. Supported in part by Theater Bay Area CA$H Grant.
