Please join us for an innovative program exploring how humor can allow survivors to flourish during their journey.  We will hear from Dr. Arash Asher, the Director of Cancer Rehabilitation and Survivorship at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles.  He will speak about his research on an Improv intervention for cancer patients and the theory behind humor’s power to heal.  Afterwards we will bring Improv to our center stage with the help of two lead actors from The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Justin McCombs and  Jeremy Dublin. 
We look forward to harnessing the power of humor to move our cancer survivors and caregivers towards wellness.
