Funny, Like An Abortion
by Rachel Bublitz
Set in a future America where even saying the word “abortion” is a crime in this darkly funny, devastatingly prescient play.
*the production has strobing lights, a fog machine, and cupcake-eating
Much of the production design and concepts have been a collaborative effort. The set design has been a fun collaboration wondering what Monroe would have in her apartment. The endless amount of cupcakes eaten and smooshed on stage were made by Miriam Sky Adler. Special thanks to: Morgan Mansana AKA, The Fiber Between Us, Taylor Pasche, Lou McNaughton, and the Curvy Con team, Nana Dakin, Scott Dare-juggling instructor, Rogers Park Social staff, Maria Burnham, Justin Wojtysiak, Corinne Hastings and the staff of Ebenezer Lutheran Church.
