Imaginary Endings – Solo performance by Ellen Dunphy

In January 2020, actor Ellen Dunphy was cast along with a real doctor to act in a training video about terminal cancer. Six months later, she is diagnosed with real terminal cancer – and her oncologist is the very same doctor from the training video.

Her one-woman show, “Imaginary Endings,” grapples with mortality, acting, and what it means to be authentic. We are grateful to share Ellen’s special performance, which aired live on Sunday, November 28th. Alongside her performance, Ellen fundraised over $10,000 for the Gastric Cancer Foundation.

We are honored and humbled by Ellen’s incredible generosity, eloquence, and vulnerability in the face of this terrible disease. This is a powerful piece that will deeply touch those who have been impacted by gastric cancer.
