L.B. 4:15

In 1993, Sylvia Roba was diagnosed with breast cancer. “In the beginning,” she said, “I wrote to save myself from despair.” And what she wrote was a one-act play. Surprising, provocative, and even funny.

Running time: 55 min.

"I want to say a thousand thanks for being part of our events for October Breast Cancer Awareness month. I am still hearing many favorable comments. Everyone loved L.B. 4:15. Thanks again for a great performance. "

"The evening was more than we could ever have hoped for. It sent the important message in such a loving and honest way. You played the role so perfectly. It was our blessing that you were able to provide us with that wonderful statement of “This is how it happened, and this is how it felt.” I absolutely affirm the value of L.B. 4:15; both the message and the presentation."

"Thank you for speaking at the Every Woman Matters Outreach Summit. The participants enjoyed the one-act play, as you can tell from the enclosed evaluation. With 5 being the top points, one participant wrote in 10!"

"Very good! So entertaining (at times), but a good message and reminder to people who work with and know about having cancer."

"Pippa White's performance of L.B.4:15 should be a must for all healthcare professionals. Her poignant portrayal of a woman diagnosed with breast cancer brings tears, smiles, and lessons. Any caregiver who views this performance will never approach patients the same way again. Pippa is the consummate professional, equally comfortable on a stage or in a classroom. She is easy to work with, very responsive, and brings rave reviews from participants."
