Misconceptions

“Blending the personal and political, Misconceptions offers a nuanced and engaging look at the many faces, voices, and stories within the abortion debate.” - Emily Cordes, Theatre is Easy.

​

“A thoughtful, well-researched, and important play… Misconceptions will get you thinking about some uncomfortable but important themes in an entirely new way.” – Tami Shaloum, Medium.com

​

​

"The compelling storylines in MISCONCEPTIONS break open taboos - bringing into view the dilemmas that women and families confront when weighing access to abortion and childcare." - DR. NATALIA KANEM, United Nations Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

​

​

"There has never been a more important time to talk about abortion in America. MISCONCEPTIONS features the stories and experiences of women, and reminds us why this fight belongs to all of us." - Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund for more than a decade, and a “heroine of the resistance” (Vogue) 

​

“A warm, sophisticated and ultimately moving humanization of the subject… Wangh’s astute writing combines with Jessica Burr’s staging to form a kaleidoscopic view of this topic… This is truly one of the most meaningful retorts to the avalanche of mindless, reactionary anti-abortion commotion spreading across America.” – Joel Benjamin

​

“Loved it so much. There’s nothing better for me in a theater than to be argued with.” - ​Jim Nicola, former Artistic Director, New York Theatre Workshop
