Baltimore Playwrights Festival to Present PEOPLE SHOULD TALK ABOUT WHAT'S REAL This Month

The 2023 Baltimore Playwrights Festival is reading new works at Spotlighters Theatre!

"Fetus is the real F word, isn't it?" In People Should Talk About What's Real, a brash livestreaming comedian and her long-suffering husband struggle to conceive in covid-era New York City, while across the city another couple deals with the emotional fallout of a miscarriage.

This is a dark but funny play that celebrates reproductive choice and intergenerational, female connection, in all its forms.

The performance will take place on 3/18 @ 10.30 am (Saturday).

Written by Alli Hartley-Kong. Directed by Darren McGregor.

  • Readings are Free Events and Open to the Public.
  • There will be a discussion after each reading for feedback for the playwright.
  • Masks are required while in the lobby and theatre.
