Pushcart Productions presents

the World Premiere of an original play

Act 39

Written by Rob Mermin

Thursdays-Sundays, June 22-July 2, 2023

Haybarn Theater (on the Goddard College campus), Plainfield, VT

 

What do you do when your best friend, dying of cancer, asks you to help end his life?


"Act 39,” written by Rob Mermin, is the true story of what happened when Rob’s friend decided to use Vermont's medical aid in dying law, known as Act 39. It is a soulful, humor-filled story of friendship, and exposes the vulnerability of the human spirit when facing mortality head-on.

 

Presented by Pushcart Productions, "Act 39" is directed by Monica Callan, and stars Donny Osman, J.T. Turner, Maren Landon Spillane and Dominic Spillane. Tickets are on sale through Seven Days Tickets.

 

This timely play will run June 22-July 2, 2023 in the Haybarn Theater at Goddard College, Plainfield, VT. Talk-backs, including Patient Choices Vermont representatives, will follow the June 23, June 25 and July 2 performances.

 

Supported in part by Vermont Humanities Council, Across Roads Center for the Arts, Plainfield Arts, Goddard College, and Patient Choices Vermont www.PatientChoices.org.
