Arts club theatre company presents the waiting room by morris panych and john mann


The Waiting Room is the third solo album by Canadian musician John Mann, released in 2014. The album comprises songs inspired by Mann's experience being diagnosed with and treated for colorectal cancer in the early 2010s.

Several months after the album's release, Mann also revealed that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

In addition to the album, Mann collaborated with playwright Morris Panych on a stage adaptation. Mann was originally slated to play the lead role himself, although due to his Alzheimer's diagnosis he did not do so. The play premiered in a production by Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre Company in 2015, with actor Jonathon Young in the lead role; Mann participated in the production by playing several of the album's songs live on stage.
