One artist’s story about living life to the fullest. Penned and performed by one of A Red Orchid’s very own, this one-woman tour-de-force chronicles a young performer’s humbling first encounters and shocking diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis. A hilarious and heartbreaking personal account that explores the myths of MS while providing a message of enduring hope. Originally produced in 2001 to critical acclaim, With or Without Wings was the inspiration for the Mookie Jam Foundation, which benefits artists with MS.
