Can women in America have the birth experience they want?
Birth, the play, makes its West Coast Premiere at City Lights Theater Company.

Birth has remained an overlooked topic until playwright Karen Brody dove into this tender and controversial subject. Similar in style to The Vagina Monologues, Birth is based on over 100 interviews with mothers across the nation.

Karen Brody weaves the experiences of seven women into a story of choice and knowledge that everyone should see. This is not Hollywood's version of childbirth but rather real stories that paint the naked truth of birth in America today.

Join us as we witness a woman's most sacred and personal experience.

*Panels will allow guests to interact with national experts on birth
and members of the Birth production

General Admission Tickets: $25
Thursday Preview $20
