X - RAE WITH PLAYWRIGHT, POET AND CANCER SURVIVOR DAN O'BRIEN

I decided to let Rae Lynn take a break and interview old friend and brilliant playwright Dan O'Brien as myself. An esteemed playwright and poet, Dan's recent work includes "Our Cancers" which revolves around the fact that Dan got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer RIGHT after his wife got over Breast Cancer. Dan and I talk about art and trauma, toxic positivity, magical thinking, support systems, faking power point and how I used to print out every email I got and file it when I was a young clueless temp.
