Jane: Abortion and the Underground
By Paula Kamen
Directed by Miranda Belle
Presented by Kathie Rasmussen Women’s Theatre
A dramatic reading
‘Jane’ was the name chosen to represent an underground collective of Chicago women – students, housewives, activists – who formed a secret abortion referral service in the years before Roe v. Wade made abortion legal.
Join us for a reading of the play that tells their incredible true story, followed by a panel discussion with representatives from local organizations that carry on the work for reproductive justice today.
The reading will be held on Sunday, September 15 at 3:00 pm on the Drury stage.
Admission is donate-what-you-can. Proceeds benefit Planned Parenthood and Harambee Village.
