PCV Celebrates Act 39 Fifth Anniversary with Stage Production

A Finished Heart by Eliot Cherry
PCV sponsored the presentation of an intimate one-act theater production as part of the recognition of the five-year anniversary of Vermont’s End of Life Choice Law (Act 39).​ We brought author, composer, and actor, Eliott Cherry here from Oregon to present his deeply personal story of love, life, and dying.

The three, hour-long performance, staged from May 17-19, 2018 brought audience members in touch with the universal experience of dying, amid humor and loving conversations at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Norwich, at the Shelburne Town Hall,  and at Chandler Center for the Arts in Randolph.

​Eliott's performances prompted conversations about care giving, personal choices, and fundamental human connections. Each performance was followed by a discussion session, and PCV provided  information about Vermont’s End of Life Choice Law (Act 39).
