Why: With the devastating news regarding the leaked SCOTUS draft decision, which accurately indicated the imminent overturning of Roe v. Wade, Colleen Renee Lis decided to come forward to tell her abortion story on stage in front of a live audience and encouraged other women to tell their own stories regarding women’s reproductive rights. The result was Destigmatized, an original play comprised of true stories and researched pieces written by Colleen Renee Lis, with contributing writers Nicole Boscarino, Mary Kate Portera & Lauren Patanovich. Artists include Kate Griggs, Fallon King Goskowski, Elisabeth Julia, Colleen Renee Lis, Lauren Patanovich, Mary Kate Portera, Alayna Spencer, Kenikki Thompson, Leslie Williams Ellis and others.
I hope you'll be able to join us for this LIVE staged reading! Otherwise, we'd be thrilled to receive any online contributions supporting this very important cause!
