Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents Funny, Like An Abortion<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/funny-like-an-abortion/> by Rachel Bublitz<https://rachelbublitz.com/>. This National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere<https://nnpn.org/rolling-world-premiere> centers on Monroe who is planning a surprise party for her bestie Jade complete with decorations, chocolate cupcakes, puns and 30 giftbags full of surprises.  However, the biggest surprise is that she's planning to give herself a home-concocted abortion. Set in a future America where even saying the word "abortion" is a crime, this play is about loyalty, friendship, and value of freedom. There's also juggling, tap-dancing and stage magic!
