‘Here We Go Two Point OH!’
During the pandemic, the story of Eric Goldstein’s journey with glioblastoma brain cancer was directed by the Rosedale Community Players but only appeared on YouTube due to safety concerns. A year and a half later, the one-person show — titled "Here We Go Two Point OH!" — will be live on stage at 7 p.m. Saturday at the RCP, 17029 13 Mile Road in Southfield. Previously, the performance was free with viewers asked to make a donation to the Henry Ford Hermelin Brain Tumor Center’s organization Game On Cancer; this time around, it will be ticketed with funds helping to support the RCP following the shutdown. For more information, call (313) 532-4010, email rcptickets@gmail.com or visit rosedalecommunityplayers.com.
