I'M AFRAID OF DEATH BUT NOT OF DYING Announces Cast For SheNYC 2018 Summer Theater Festival

When hypochondriac Natalie falls in love with chronically ill Sam, she doesn't know how to manage his Cystic Fibrosis. As their relationship begins to disintegrate amidst Sam's new online relationship with another CF patient, Clara, the three of them struggle to reconcile issues of connection, fear, hope, and loneliness together.

Directed by Lizz Power and written by Liza Summer, I'm Afraid of Death but Not of Dying has an official cast for the SheNYC 2018 Summer Theater Festival. Summer's play is packed with a talented cast including Marcella Pereda as Natalie, John Lampe as Sam, Danielle Purdy as Clara, and Elyse Steingold as Therapist/CVS Checker.
