I Will Sing Life

Students will perform a staged reading of the play I Will Sing Life: Voices from the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. The reading invites you into the lives of seven children facing life-threatening illnesses and encourages you to live, laugh, sing and cry along with them.

The play is a dynamic and highly theatrical collage of creative writing by and interviews with young people who attended the Hole in the Wall Camp founded by actor Paul Newman for children with life-threatening illness.

Through their stories, poetry, songs and skits, these exceptional young people explore feelings about family, friends, romance, illness, life and death. The children’s words – wise, humorous, and wonderfully life-affirming – are an inspiration for all ages in the fine art of “singing life.”
