On March 24th, we had the pleasure of having our very first performer, Jackson Nogahl! He celebrated his ten-year anniversary with prostate cancer on Valentine’s Day 2021. He has been finding humor in his experiences living with this condition as he writes his memoir War and Pee.

He gave a virtual performance of The Rain Delay:

Chronicling his first day back to work after prostate surgery, this work weaves together the lessons of a 1990s skateboarder, tallboy beers, Clydesdale horses, a magic trick, the power of prayer, the most beautiful woman in the office, and above all else, Mother Nature.

Afterwards, Rick Davis and Jackson discussed the importance of connectivity, especially for those living with serious diseases and conditions.
