This production, which was written and produced by Mercedes "Elektra" Wyatt, directed by Joost de Jong, and choreographed by Ihndhira Marlin, with DirkJan Jansen as Musical Director, began on Thursday and will end this evening.
Audiences thus far have been thrilled by the performances put on by the assembled cast.
"We're pleased with what we have been able to put on for audiences. The intention of this production was to inform people about breast cancer and early prevention and we have succeeded in doing so," Shelly Alphonso, President of the Positive Foundation said.
This year the breast cancer awareness campaign continues collaborative efforts between the Positive Foundation and Elektra.
"Elektra is able to reach a great many people in the community and because of that we are extremely happy that she decided to work with us on our platform and that she continues to work with us every year. This year she has outdone herself with ideas such as this one and we pleased by the feedback we are getting from the community," Alphonso said.
The production uses dance, poetry, acting, song and other art forms to impart a strong message about breast self exams, screenings and mammograms.
"The more women we reach and encourage to check their breasts, the better the chances of preventing death. Early detection is always the best protection as it relates to this disease and so we are encouraging women to take control of their breast health and use the suggested methods," Alphonso said.
Alphonso said that she is really urging people to turn out and support the production in its final night.
"The information you receive might just help you save a life and you never know that life might be yours," Alphonso said.
Showtime is at 8pm sharp and tickets are available at the venue for $20.
