Buffalo, NY – Spending time at her grandmother's home in South Buffalo created lasting memories for Buffalo native Kali Quinn. But Quinn slowly watched the grandmother she once knew fade away as her own memories faded from Alzheimer's disease. Now, the Vermont based artist brings that poignant story to the stage in a one person show, called "Vamping."
The multi-media play is written and performed by Quinn who returns home for the Buffalo premiere, which opens Tuesday night and runs through Sunday at the Road Less Traveled Theatre in the Market Arcade. Caregivers are especially invited to Saturday's show, which will benefit the Alzheimer's Association and features a panel discussion with local experts on memory loss and aging.
WBFO's Joyce Kryszak talked with Quinn about her play that gives hope to all families touched by Alzheimers.
