reservationsDine With Us.

MEG FLATHER
Meg’s frank, moving, and frequently amusing show, Hold On Tight, shares the ups and downs of a caregiver’s journey through monologues and original songs. It demonstrates the need to “hold on tight” to the moments we have with our loved ones, and it suggests that final partings don’t have to be so terribly sad.

In the early 1990s Meg Flather became a volunteer at Saint Vincent’s Hospital’s Supportive Care Program after another “beautiful boy” her age died of AIDS. On Meg’s first day of training, Sister Pat said to the new group of volunteers, “You all think you are here for the client we will assign you to visit. But you are also here because down the line in your personal lives, you will be called upon to care for a loved one.” Fast forward 10 years, Meg was her father Roger’s full-time caregiver during the nine months he battled cancer. After Meg’s father passed away, her mother, Becky, faced dementia which took the mother/daughter dynamic to an altogether different level.
