Birth, a play by Karen Brody
Saturday, September 20th,
Location: The City Theatre, 3823 Airport Blvd, Austin
Cost: $22
 
Each year, BOLD in Austin stages the play Birth, written by BOLD founder Karen Brody. It is based on over one hundred interviews conducted with mothers across America who gave birth between 2000-2004. It tells the true stories of eight women painting a portrait of how low-risk, educated women are giving birth in America today. Moving between first-person monologues, some dialogue, and the voices these women heard on the day they gave birth, Birth confronts, what City Lights Theater Company has called, "The naked truth about childbirth in America."
 
The play will be followed by a talkback session with three community birth professionals.
