St. Agatha of Sicily is the Patron Saint of breast cancer patients, rape victims, bakers, and bellfounders. Every February, a festival held in her honour serves dome-shaped cakes called: “Minne di Sant’Agata” (“Little Breasts of Saint Agatha”).

Sarah McNeilly is neither Catholic nor Italian. She’s not even a good baker. But Sarah is going to bake (and eat) Minnie di Sant’Agata (AKA “Titty Cakes”) on stage. Because Agatha’s story allowed Sarah to do the impossible. To finally tell her own story. In her own words. And maybe, just maybe—with you as her witnesses—Sarah will bake herself to healing on stage this October.
