“For 40 years, Theatre Within has remembered John with its heartfelt annual tribute, while having a powerful positive impact with its John Lennon Real Love Project music program for those by impacted cancer. What a wonderful way to honor John and his highest values!” Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, said in a statement on the Theatre Within’s website.
