NYC-based writer and performer Amy Marcs brings her critically acclaimed, one-woman reconstructive comedy Nice T!ts to the Alliance for the Arts on March 17, 18 and 19. Nice T!ts is a comedic exploration of Marc’s roller-coaster experience with cancer and its effect on her perception of femininity, womanhood, confidence and mortality. It’s a unique perspective full of humor and heart-felt honest. The show has played to sold-out houses at The People’s Improve Theatre in New York since 2014.
“I hope to be of service to others with my show. To give hope to women who are going through this, so they know they’re not alone and that they are still beautiful, vibrant and sexy,” said the show’s creator Amy Marcs. “My story is about the resiliency of the human spirit and finding self-acceptance, love and hope in a very difficult and traumatic situation. And of course, all told through humor, because I believe that is one of the best healing tools we have.”
