BIRTH, a play by Karen Brody

BIRTH, a play by Karen Brody, was first performed in 2006 as part of a global activist theater movement known as BOLD. BIRTH reveals the lives of low-risk women in labor as they confront coercion in hospitals and discover strategies for obtaining a powerful birth experience. The stories of eight women have inspired audiences all over the world to start demanding a childbirth model of care that is compassionate and woman-centered!

Proceeds from the play benefit San Antonio Birth Doulas (SABD), a non-profit organization under Catholic Charities. SABD provides birth and postpartum doula services to at-risk teens and low-income mothers to prepare them for pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. SABD’s mission is to stop infant abuse and neglect.
