Alison Whittaker's Vital Signs

Description

Vital Signs is a frank and funny vivisection of life on-the-job in a modern hospital in wildly diverse San Francisco. Equally comic, tragic and touching, it reveals what really goes on behind-the-scenes in a bustling medical center where patients, nurses, and families try their best to make the most of some very difficult, and at times utterly ridiculous, situations. Playing nearly two dozen characters, Alison is hoping to raise your blood pressure, have you in stitches, and give you a probing, insider’s x-ray view of the hospital setting and the people who valiantly cope with it.

"Alison is a gifted writer and performer... painfully funny and profound."
- Ann Randolph

"...funny, heartbreaking, frustrating, frightening and plain ol' interesting...a must-see." - - -- Mike Oz, Fresno Bee

"...masterful parody, amazing humor, and unusual sensitivity and compassion. She humanizes a world that is often percieved as sterile and impersonal. Her work will be a revelation to many and a thoroughly entertaining experience for all."
- Jeff Anderson, M.D.

"A surgical strike to the funny bone. Penetrating, probing, and as revelatory as an MRI." - Jane Veit, RN
