From 6:30-8:30 pm, Ballroom A - Bill W. and Dr. Bob - Play Reading & Panel Discussion. The play deals with one of the most profound and effective social movements of the 20th century that came out of a meeting between two alcoholics in Akron Ohio in 1935. The play, written by Stephen Bergman (of House of God fame) and Janet Surrey, recreates the meeting of investment consultant, Bill W., and physician/surgeon Dr. Bob that led to the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous. The play reading will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Tom Hutchinson that will explore its implications for healthcare. Panel: Dr. Kathryn Gill, Dr. Gerald Wiviott, and a Member of a 12-Step Program.
