Nice T*ts, written and performed by Amy Marcs will premiere on the main stage at The Peoples Improv Theater on October 30th during Breast Cancer Awareness month. Peter Michael Marino directs.
Just when life was going so well, Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer! With an unlikely American icon by her side, Amy seeks the perfect set of new boobs while navigating attractive doctors, show tune-singing nurses, inept food delivery guys, and a cancer support group filled with hopeless downers.
“I hope to be of service to others with my show. To give hope to women who are going through this, so they know they’re not alone and that they are still beautiful, vibrant and sexy.” said the show’s creator Amy Marcs. “My story is about the resiliency of the human spirit and finding self-acceptance, love and hope in a very difficult and traumatic situation. And of course, all told through humor, because I believe that is one of the best healing tools we have.”
All performances take place at The Peoples Improv Theater, 123 East 24th Street (Between Park Ave. & Lexington Ave.) Subways: N/R/6 to 23rd Street.
