On-Born Children and Ghosts by Timmia Hearn DeRoy

Staged Reading of a new play in ten acts that follows the journey of a Queer 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?
