Musical documentary, ALL WIGGED OUT, Panel Discussion and Musical Performance

Presented by Hope Connections for Cancer Support at Silver Spring Civic Building

Longtime D.C. area resident and Grammy® Award-winner Marcy Marxer’s ALL WIGGED OUT is a poignant, yet often surprisingly hilarious, musical show about her cancer experience –  All proceeds from the event will benefit the Bethesda-based non-profit Hope Connections for Cancer Support.

ALL WIGGED OUT, which has received multiple film awards including “Best Health Film” at the Cannes World Film Festival, blends music, storytelling, comedy and advice based on her firsthand experiences with breast cancer, starting with a funky mammogram in June 2015 and ending shortly after her last chemo pill in spring of 2021. Says Marxer, \\\"There were times when the wig shop gals gave me more information than my doctors. So did conversations with other patients in the chemo room.\\\" With her renowned musical mastery and eclectic wit, Marxer traces her transition from award-winning virtuosic musician to artist struggling with chemo-induced neuropathy, and the path back to touring musician. It happens to coincide with her hair story. Marcy is joined by partner Cathy Fink, bass player Stacy McMichael and drummer Janet Cramer.
