Event

Sick

Sick has been extended one final time! Newly added performances are Fridays and Saturdays, 17, 18, 24, and 25.

On nights when the show has sold out, overflow seating may be available at the door.

Elizabeth Kenny was a healthy thirty-two year-old woman who went to the doctor for a common ailment. A year and a half later, she was being escorted by hospital orderlies to a coffee shop along with the rest of the level 5 patients from the psych ward.

Sick, a new performance written and performed by Seattle monologuist Elizabeth Kenny, and collaboratively created with New City Theater Artistic Director John Kazanjian, explores a patient's two-year odyssey inside the most advanced healthcare system in the world--an odyssey that almost killed her. It investigates how treatment by well-meaning, sophisticated practitioners for a common gynecological issue plunged her into a downward spiral through the complex medical and mental health establishments.

Without sentimentality or polemics, Sick chronicles Kenny's heroic struggle to pull herself back from a precipice, and bravely exposes the forces that conspired to push her there.
