Voices from the Silenced

Description

Voices from the Silenced offers a deeply human portrayal of women who faced the dangers of illegal abortions and societal stigma in the era before 1973. Playwright/activists Martha Boesing and Victoria Rue shaped their one-act play around the powerful testimonies of women who had abortions before Roe v Wade and created a powerful inspiring call to action in the ongoing fight for reproductive rights.

The 90-minute evening stars: Kathleen Chalfant, Jane Curtin, Tyne Daly, Sharon Gless, Amy Irving, Christine Lahti, Kecia Lewis-Evans, Marsha Mason and Rachel Ticotin*

The performance will be followed by a discussion with experts currently dealing with the legal and medical battles surrounding reproductive rights.

All proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Center for Reproductive Rights and the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine (the ACT Group).
