About The Festival

The festival continues! SEE Reproductive Freedom is What We Want, Sunday April 28, 3 pm, The People’s Forum, 320 W. 37th Street, NYC.

The Reproductive Freedom Festival, a theatrical recognition and celebration of the fundamental human right to bodily autonomy, was developed by Words of Choice to support reproductive freedom, rights, health and justice and to generate new conversations on these subjects. We are pro-women’s rights, pro-human rights, pro-reproductive rights, pro-reproductive justice and pro-choice.

Short theatrical works, poetry and spoken word selections were presented in a Live Theatrical Reading, at The TACT Studio in NYC and also streamed live to the world, via a multi-camera interactive livestream. 

Now they are available in an e-book — Short Plays on Reproductive Freedom — for people to read, and to consider doing their own Reproductive Freedom Festival! Buy at Amazon Kindle!

The Reproductive Freedom Festival operated with the support of The Puffin Foundation, the Abortion Conversations Project, the Anne Hale and Arthur Johnson Community Trust, and many individual donors.

The Live event in New York was be shared simultaneously across the country (and world) via premiere high-quality Live Arts Streaming of VirtualArts TV. This is not your back-of-the-house wobbly camera, but a professional multi-camera set-up of the theatrical works. People felt like they were in the room with the performers in New York!  Tens of thousands of people in every state and nine countries watched!

Included in the event were short interviews with experts and artists, along with selected visual arts. Online participants were able to join in by Twitter and instant messaging.  This created a dynamic, interactive and enriching opportunity for one and all!

Now, you can read the e-book to see the vibrancy of scripts that cross genres, backgrounds and styles, and show how much people care about Reproductive Freedom.
