🎟 TICKETS available through the link in our bio!

📆 September 21-October 12, 2024 | Thursday-Saturday 8pm, Sundays 6pm

👉 Funny, Like an Abortion is a surreal new comedy, set in the near future in a United States of America where abortion is illegal nation-wide and even saying the word “abortion” is a crime. It’s a comedy, until it’s not. This play contains frank discussions of misogyny, pregnancy, abortion, reproductive rights, privacy rights, and freedom of speech. And there’s juggling and tap dancing. As we in Texas are living with the staggering loss of reproductive freedom and with ominous potential for a national ban, this play is a call to conversation, compassion, education, and action. Funny, Like an Abortion finds truth and humor in a time of absurd circus.

🌀 The VORTEX proudly shares this Rolling World Premiere as part of the National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere with Mile Street Theatre in New Jersey and Cleveland Public Theatre. Funny, Like An Abortion was originally developed with PlayGrounds 25th and 26th Festival of New Works with Jim Kleinmann, Artistic Director (Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco).
