The Turnaway Play is about what really happens when people are denied access to abortion. An urgent issue comes to life onstage through humor, drama, and audience participation. The play is inspired and informed by the groundbreaking Turnaway Study, conducted by Dr. Diana Greene Foster, a 2023 MacArthur Fellow and researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Foster followed 1,000 women from across the country for ten years and obtained the first scientific results on the consequences people face when either having or being denied an abortion. The main finding of the Turnaway Study is that receiving an abortion does not harm the health and wellbeing of women, but in fact, being denied an abortion results in worse financial, health and family outcomes.
While this program is free, because there is limited seating in our venues,
we are asking attendees to RSVP here: https://forms.gle/8Kh5H8N967DUf3MX
