U.Va.
School Of Nursing Annual Event To Feature One-Woman Play: “Waltzing
The Reaper”
September 17, 2002--
“Vera
Mapleton is slowly dying …although her Living Will and her
directive stated that she wished to die at home, ‘without
heroic measures’ and a notation reads, ‘Do not resuscitate,’
she’s attached to multiple life-saving machines, drugged into
an almost comatose state, in prolonged pain, unable to speak, breath,
eat, or even see.” WHAT:
Zula Mae Baber Bice Memorial Lecture featuring: “Waltzing
the Reaper” Judith Gantly, who performs around the country, will depict death and dying from the patient and caregiver perspectives. Trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in both acting and voice, Gantly lives in New Jersey. The performance will cap off an evening of the arts, including a dessert and coffee reception and a silent auction of prints, photography and paintings donated by P. Buckley Moss, John Russeau, Christine Kennedy and other regional artists. The reception and art auction will be held from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Proceeds from the auction benefit the nursing student enrichment fund. The event is free, but registration is required by Oct. 10 by calling (434) 924-0138 or e-mail vls8n@virginia.edu The Zula Mae Baber Bice Memorial Lecture 2002 is part of U.Va.’s Women’s Center Virginia 2020 series, an initiative that explores women’s roles in the fine arts in various schools. The event is in memory of Bice, who died in 1975. A former acting dean and faculty member, she is recognized annually for her many professional contributions to U.Va.’s School of Nursing.
