"For an hour, someone in need came to the theater. And the theater sheltered him."
In this new solo play, NO BETTER NEWS, about the healing power of theatre,
a seasoned actress faced with a devastating diagnosis recalls her lessons
from life as a performer to persevere -- and discovers that she has
everything she needs to keep making art.
“Give this one–woman show the big audience it deserves. Gael Schaefer uses her recent battle with cancer as a catalyst for entertaining stories about her entertainer life. Find out how an introverted actor made her way from a park that inspired Walt Disney to performing on Disney's Big Red Boat to her present life in New York and the theatre life that sustains her. Inspiring and engaging!”
