For Our Daughters
​

Picture
For Our Daughters is a multi-media play with music about surviving breast cancer. It is a theatrical blending of several mediums: powerfully personal filmed interviews of breast cancer survivors; moving scenes performed by actors that tell the story of a woman’s journey; and inspirational songs that convey courage, persistence and hope. For Our Daughters addresses the emotional impact of breast cancer while dispelling myths and fears; provides women and their families with information about mammograms, self-exams and talking to medical providers; encourages audience members to be informed about their personal health and medical options;  and builds a sense of community and empowerment through the sharing of personal stories and  shared experiences.
Throughout the course of the play, the following information is conveyed:

• The importance of early detection

• The advantages of regular mammograms

• Risk factors for minority women

• High risk factors including family history

• Indications for genetic testing

• Symptoms that require attention

• Performing a breast self-exam

• Treatment options

The themes that run through the play are: changing fear into action; taking time to take care  of yourself; tending to your life; making the choice to put yourself first; taking charge of your  treatment if it happens to you; having supportive people around you; and reasons to have a  great deal of hope.

For Our Daughters was created by Illusion Theater. IlluminArt produced it and toured the Metro Detroit area from 2003-2005 and again in 2011 on Staten Island.
