This is a one-man play/long monologue by Dr. Shapiro, entitled: House of Estrogen: A father's play about strong women, strong girls, and strong medicine. When Shapiro was 20, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease and spent five years in and out of treatment for his cancer. Twenty years later, his wife and mother were diagnosed with serious cancers. In this play about strong women and their response to serious crisis, Shapiro illuminates fatherhood, husbandhood, and childhood under pressure. Dan Shapiro is a psychologist who specializes in treating physicians, author of Delivering Doctor Amelia: The Story of a Gifted Young Obstetrician’s Error and the Psychologist Who Helped Her, and Chair of the Department of Humanities at Penn State College of Medicine at Hershey
