Presents

Funny, Like An Abortion

By Rachel Bublitz

Directed by Paige Conway

April 25 through May 11, 2024

 

Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents Funny, Like An Abortion by Rachel Bublitz. This National New Play Network 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!

 

Featuring: Andrea de la Fuente (as Monroe), Maggie Adler (as Jade).
