A local actor is putting her story on stage over the next few days. Maureen Cassidy is presenting a 1 woman show entitled Eighteen Degrees.

 

She says it’s her story and it started with a life or death situation and she didn’t know if she was going to live or die.

“They didn’t know if I was going to make it after they tried to do everything they could to save me. It was really touch and go. I made it.”
She says she fought for her life against an unseen enemy and the experienced changed her in many ways and she wants to share that story.

“Where I can make my own work and write myself into my own true story and make it good theatre, compelling theatre and entertaining theatre.”
She believes the audience will be able to relate to her story as everyone has struggles with loss and pain and works towards triumph.
The show started last night and will run Sunday at the Discovery North Bay Museum.

Tickets are $20 dollars for adults and $15 for students. You’re asked to call ahead at 705-472-8547,
