Alison Leiby:
Oh God, A Show About Abortion

 

Alison Leiby's summer started with a bang and ended with a visit to Planned Parenthood. In between she had two root canals, a very scary trip to the "Fertility" section of a Missouri CVS and a dozen meltdowns about what you wear to your abortion, naturally. In her new show described as “humane and deeply funny” by The New York Times, she walks through the stupid minutiae, the backwards practices, and the surprising perspective that come with exercising your reproductive rights.

Oh God, A Show About Abortion is currently playing off-Broadway after being extended multiple times and receiving critical acclaim.
