A woman’s right to choose soars in a tapestry of 14 powerful ‘shorts’ — serious and comic. These are stories from the heart: humorous and tender; poignant and riveting, from theater, spoken word, comedy, poetry, oral history and journalism. “Smart, funny, endangered!”

Words of Choice II: Let Reproductive Freedom Ring! Professional theater with an exciting collection of works from a dozen writers, performed by an ensemble of actors.

Fascinating stories:

- Letter writers pour out their feelings to Justice Harry Blackmun

- A fed-up doctor outwits anti-abortion harassers

- A young woman reaches to a higher power before a pregnancy test

- Two women unburden 14 years of sin

- A Vietnam vet recounts the terror of an illegal abortion

- A young woman realizes that she is not the sum of her body parts

Three actors, 70 minutes, and stories that will inspire you, enrich you, remind you — & stay with you. Created by Cindy Cooper, Words of Choice has traveled to 20 states to open new conversations about reproductive freedom.
