Product Description
by Constance Alexander (Author)
It was my good fortune to work with Constance Alexander through the Kentucky Voices program at Horse Cave Theatre during the development of The Way Home. In this compelling piece, Constance combines a journalist's power of observation with a poet's use of language-and her own light heart-to skillfully create characters and situations dealing with tough end of life issues. A standing ovation for Constance for this script, and for her use of theatre as a forum to stimulate conversations on a challenging topic.

Cancer. A simple word that echoed through my bones like an earthquake. And then the aftershock-I have no insurance. Through surgery and chemo, the bills piling up, at times I felt so lost. But not alone. When I think back to that time, a line from The Way Home shines like a beacon-There are people along the way who say, "Come this way. There are ways through all this." Constance Alexander is one of those people along the way. Her spoken word opera is a gift to be performed not only by professional actors, but by friends reaching out to friends, by strangers reaching out to strangers, by communities reaching out to reassure, to comfort, to guide us all home. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude.
-Judy Sizemore, Survivor and Poet
