180 Days, A one-woman, comedy-drama with Taren Sterry 

Thursday, February 16, 2012 7:00 pm - Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz, CA

Hospice of Santa Cruz County and the UCSC Department of Community Studies are proud to partner as sponsors of the one-woman show, 180 Days, written and performed by UCSC alumna Taren Sterry. 180 Days is the true story of her first six months working in hospice. While attending UCSC in 2001-2 she embarks on a six month ethnographic field study to work with terminally ill patients and their families.  Taren eagerly anticipates having deep spiritual encounters with her patients, but to do that she must first learn how to survive in a foreign land, face the past and savor the taste of humble pie. For more information, contact Julie Boudreau at Hospice of Santa Cruz County 831-430-3078 or purchase tickets online here.
