"Mitzi’s Abortion" is a surprising and compassionate play about a young
woman confronting one of life’s most difficult and deeply personal
decisions in a system determined to make it a political one.

Facing a surprise pregnancy, Mitzi embraces motherhood and a future
with her baby’s father. But when complications collide with deeply-held
beliefs, insurance regulations, and varying reactions from those she
loves, Mitzi’s world is thrown into chaos. And then Saint Thomas
Aquinas and a 17th-century midwife join the fray.

With humor and honesty, this stunning new play takes a multifaceted
look at an extraordinarily powerful and contemporary question. "Mitzi’s
Abortion" was originally commissioned for the 2003 FringeACT Festival
and was the recipient of the 2005 ACT New Play Award.
