Chicago Residents Featured in “Funny, Like An Abortion”
Kit Kelly and Mary Aurora Moore Take Part in This Chicago Premiere.
Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble (CDE), located at 1650 W. Foster Ave, in collaboration with Fat Theater Project will present Funny Like an Abortion March 10 - 30, written by Rachel Bublitz and directed by Eileen Tull. Chicago’s Kit Kelly is the understudy for “Monroe” and Mary Aurora Moore is the props designer.
Set in a future America where even saying the word “abortion” is a crime, Monroe has just discovered that she is unexpectedly and unwantedly pregnant. She invites her best friend, Jade, over for a surprise abortion party in this darkly funny, devastatingly prescient play by Rachel Bublitz.
The performance schedule is Fridays through Sundays at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested donation of $30. NOTE: Doors will open at 7 p.m. for each performance as there will be a gallery exhibition that comments on the social aspects of the femme experience focusing on the rights of women and femmes that are now under attack. A timeline of women’s history milestones will also be displayed.
