Off Broadway Opening of the play BILL W. AND DR. BOB by CDL Member Jan Surrey and her husband Steve Bergman


Please come and witness this incredible story of hope and healing through real human connection.  The journey that Bill W. and Dr. Bob took together has become a beacon of hope in the dark for so many people in our world.  Alcohol and drugs create so much suffering, not only for those who abuse them, but also for our families and friends and communities.

This meeting between Bill and Bob has echoed through our history for seventy-one years, a meeting replayed every day of the week in every city, town, and village in our country, and throughout most of the world.  In a time of despair, the power of mutual connection transcends the particular horror of substance abuse, to become a model for healing in all of our lives, a story of the power of the spirit in everyday life.
  
BILL W. AND DR. BOB opens in New York at New World Stages 340 West 50th Street, with previews starting February 16, 2007 and opening night March 5.  The authors will be available for "talkbacks" with the audience during previews.  For information and tickets visit:  http://www.BillWandDrBobThePlay.com

"Pass it on" to anyone you feel would care!

With gratitude,

Janet Surrey and Steve Bergman
Authors of the play BILL W. AND DR. BOB.
