Pro-Life: A One-Woman One-Act

Alyssa Franks

LOCATION: Seattle, Washington

SYNOPSIS: There are many ways to save a life. Meet Cheryl, a figure of feminine fortitude from a forgotten town in Appalachia. Cheryl understands how precious life is. When hers gets turned upside-down for the second time, she faces a seemingly impossible choice. This play is inspired by The Janes who organized and operated an underground abortion network operated by women for women before Roe V. Wade. A story of sisterhood and showing up.

This production was originally intended as a live performance in April 2020. COVID had other plans. The world premiere was filmed live at Theatre Off Jackson in two short hours and streamed in April of 2021, one year delayed.
