Marble
Church Blurb:
From Evan
Ginzburg; Associate producer of "The Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke,
"Theresa Sareo: Alive Again" is the critically acclaimed,
inspirational true story of NYC singer/songwriter, Theresa Sareo, whose life
was forever changed when a tragic accident on Manhattan's Park Avenue and 34th
St. caused the loss of her entire right leg.
This
moving, award-winning documentary gives an up-close and personal look into her
challenging physical and emotional rehabilitation, courageous return to her
music career and unexpected path to supporting trauma victims and wounded
military around the world. Funny,
poignant and musically electrifying, first-time director, Rye Joseph captures
Theresa's determination to survive, give service to others and keep her musical
dreams alive.
Marble
Collegiate Church's own, Marcia Fingal, was fatefully at the corner that June
day in 2002. Realizing Theresa survived,
she graciously visited her in the hospital where they spoke for the first time. Nine years later, another divine twist of
fate brought them together, leading to this very special event. Don't miss an incredible evening of
testimony, celebration and entertainment!
Join us
for light fare in Marble’s Bay Hall beginning at 6pm,
with the screening in the sanctuary promptly at 7pm. A live Q&A with Theresa Sareo and Evan
Ginzburg will follow the film. A short musical performance and meet and greet
will round out this uplifting evening. Tickets for Friday Nov. 16 screening available for $20 online at www.marblechurch.org. Tickets also available at the door night of show.
