This Thursday at Smiths Custom Framing Gallery Debbie Voight will be preparing for her role in Witt by shaving her head for charity. Debbie recently accepted the lead role in Wit , being performed at the Hershey Theater. Wit is a touching drama that chronicles the last days of a woman diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. The audience travels through time as Vivian Bearing, the lead, experiences flash backs of important moments in her life.

Debbie an experienced thespian and former jazz singer chose Wit for its social impact, and thought provoking script. After taking on this project she decided to make it into a fundraising opportunity with proceeds going to Vickies Angel walk. This local charity works directly with families affected by cancer and 100% of their proceeds go directly to the cause.

When asked if she was nervous Debbie a performer since birth calmly replied no. She has been preparing for her role by memorizing over 50 pages of script and working on delivery of lines with a professor of poetry. As for the shaving of her head , preparation has included knit caps and some mental preparation. Debbie determine this was an integral part of playing the role of a cancer patient. She wanted to fully experience every aspect of this character and gauge personal and social reactions to this recognizable symptom of cancer. This role is extremely personal to Debbie with a family history of cancer, she draws on these experiences for inspiration. “ …..I learned from this play that sometimes things in life are out of your hands……cancer not only affects the patient but everyone around them.”

“And death shall be no more” comma “death, thou shalt die.” Nothing but a breath, a comma separates life from life everlasting.” E.M . Ashford, noted poet
