Community invited to see Edina Thespians' one-act play, 'Wit' 
Sun Current, Coon Rapids, MN; by Alex Kautzman; 1/20/25
Edina High School Thespians are ... looking forward to showing off their hard work to the community in two performances at the Edina Performing Arts Center. ... "Wit" centers on Vivian Bearing, a brilliant poetry professor, as she undergoes an experimental and extremely aggressive chemotherapy treatment. As Vivian undergoes treatment at the hands of impersonal doctors, she discovers that human compassion may be more important than intellectual wit.
Editor's note: This Wit telepay is based on the 1999 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Margaret Edson. Its 2001 television drama film was directed by Mike Nichols, written by and starring Emma Thompson. Wit has been used extensively for community and clinical education, fostering conversations about ethics, palliative care/hospice, advance directives, quality of life, and more. Now--20+ years later--how does this patient-experience story stand up to today's acquisition-wealth-driven 'wit'? Click here for more information. Wit can be streamed via Max and the Max Prime Video Channel.
