FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Maureen SanDiego’s “A Star Is Aborted” Makes Its Chicago Debut this August 2nd
Maureen SanDiego’s critically acclaimed Hollywood Fringe show A Star Is Aborted is back Chicago-Style!
“You have the right to choose…so choose to see this show immediately!”
—Alaska Thunderf*ck 5000
‘A Star is Aborted’ follows a drag queen fetus, the first baby conceived inside a gay man. Will she choose life, or remain in butthole limbo forever? Combining grotesque glamour, powerhouse vocals, and biting satire, A Star Is Aborted explores themes of sexual freedom, fame, and queerness through a hilarious, boundary-pushing lens. John Waters would approve.
