Please share favorite (or not so favorite) songs that talk about pregnancy. This is for our ongoing research as we develop our play that is going up in a staged reading this week: On-Born Children and Ghosts staged reading!

Your song may make it into pre-show!

Our show has been cast and we’re ready for our first day of in-person rehearsals! 🎉 Anyone is welcome and encouraged to join the conversation and workshop this play with our actors and crew. Join us at Plymouth Church on Vermont in room 202 for a lively play workshop/reading rehearsal.

On-Born Children and Ghosts is a play in ten acts that follows the journey of a Q***r mixed-racial couple’s journey through pregnancy, and the ghosts that haunt them. Moving through four hundred years of colonial history, into doctor’s offices, places of worship, on the water, political offices, and into the homes of people experiencing pregnancy and those caring for them, this play asks us to examine our own experiences of pregnancy and desires to become, or not become, parents. How can we be our ancestors wildest dreams if they only had nightmares?
