 | | Soon thereafter, though, Vance began a memorable theater association with playwright-director George Wolfe, winning awards for his anthology piece examining African-American stereotypes, "The Colored Museum" (1986), as well as for the later "Spunk" (1991), based on short stories by Zora Neale Hurston. |
 | | Unfortunately, Vance also had to contend with breast cancer, which was diagnosed in 1990. |
 | | She had a mastectomy and even created a performance piece, "The Radical Girl's Guide to Radical Mastectomy", which premiered at New York's Public Theater in the 1991-92 season, but a recurrence of the disease in 1993 would finally prove fatal, robbing the theater scene of a distinctive and versatile comic presence at age 35. |
