Ann and Me:
or The Big Bad Abortion Play
Jessica is a middle aged, middle income, mostly average white lady– who has had abortions. And those abortions led her to study the history of abortion in the United States– because she’s a bit of a nerd. And then she wrote a really big play about Ann Lohman– an Abortionist in the 1800’s and all around badass! And she thought that the abortion chapter of her life was closed, she was almost menopausal after all... But then came Dobbs. And Jessica realized that
having written a play about the history of legal abortion in the United States made her an expert in a niche part of legal history that was all of a sudden
very important. Come along for the ride on this alternately harrowing
and hilarious interactive experience!
Written and Performed by Jessica Bashline
and directed by Margaret M. Ledford.
Ann and Me: or The Big Bad Abortion Play was developed at
American Theatre Northwest & Syracuse Stage’s Cold Read Festival.

When Jesus Divorced Me
Written and performed by Laura Irene Young
Directed by Allison Weakland
She was married to the man of her dreams. Shortly after their wedding, he is cast at a theme park where he either plays Jesus or crucifies him everyday at 3. She tries to be proud of her husband in his new endeavor. Not until a princess from a neighboring theme park comes into the picture, does she realize something is amiss. Now, she is left with the weird and weirdly funny aftermath. A story about how we deal we life's messes and breakups. This surprising folk-music concert from Laura Irene Young expertly moves from gut busting to gut punching: with a score that is equally cheeky and vulnerable you won’t want to miss this show.
