Linda Park-Fuller, PhD

“In Sickness and in Health:
Confessions of a Cowardly Caregiver”

The beginning of a new year is always a time of renewed hope tempered by trepidation.  We never know what the future will bring but we all have loved ones or friends who have a caregiver or may soon need one. 

Join us as the Rev. Linda M. Park-Fuller, Ph.D., performs a staged reading of her autobiographical play “In Sickness and Health.”  Hear how she faced challenges caring for her beloved spouse over the five years he suffered from dementia and a related condition.  While the narrative doesn’t sugar-coat the experience, it is tempered by laughter, wisdom and spiritual inspiration as she relates the lessons learned.  “In Sickness and Health” was recently accepted for publication in Text and Performance Quarterly, a scholarly journal in the field of Performance Studies.

Dr. Park-Fuller, playwright and performer, retired from ASU as a professor of Performance Studies in 2007 ending a career spanning 37 years.  Ordained as a minister in 2012 by One Spirit Interfaith and Interspiritual Seminary of New York City, she currently does guest speaking and lives in Tempe, AZ, with her cat Gypsy.
