The newly established Unladylike Theatre presents The Bearer of Bad News at Hollywood Fringe Festival for three dates in June 2022 at The Other Space Theater (at The Actor's Company).

SYNOPSIS:
In the not-too-distant future, a corporeal tragedy is taking place. Animals are dying out and young women are tasked with bringing their fetuses to term and bearing their offspring in order to protect and save paramount endangered species. A young bearer named Samantha struggles to discover her place in the world and adjust to her new status as a "Bearer" (spoiler alert: it is not one of privilege). The rest of the world-her parents, doctors, and society-can't comprehend what or why she is doing this, leaving her in her own private world."
