Description

In August of 2019, Shana Pennington-Baird found herself in Dingle, Ireland, travelling alone, when she had a major health emergency. During the course of this one-hour musical show, Shana will take you on a journey of aortic dissection diagnosis, emergency open-heart surgery, recovery and recuperation 5,000 miles from home. Shana suffered a type-A aortic dissection which is where the aorta tears, causing immediate internal bleeding. Broken Wide Open is about hope, family and survival – with a sense of humour. Join Shana and live musicians as they retell the true story from four years ago.
