鈥淭he Waiting Room鈥�

The story involves three women from three different centuries who meet in a modern-day doctor鈥檚 waiting room. The women’s stories are wrapped in the sexual and social politics of a male-dominated medical industry. The issues range from cultural aesthetics to breast cancer treatment. The female characters include an 18th-century Chinese woman whose bound feet are literally falling apart; a 19th-century woman who has been so tightly corseted she is suffering from what was called 鈥渉ysteria;鈥� and a contemporary American woman suffering the side effects of silicone breast implants. The show鈥檚 director is Stacy Pendergraft, associate professor of actor training at 糖心Vlog传媒LR. The cast members are:
