DESTIGMATIZED: Our Bodies, Our Rights, Our Choices To Stage Planned Parenthood Benefit Performance At Burlington County Footlighters
Destigmatized: Our Bodies, Our Rights, Our Stories, is an original play comprised of true stories written by Colleen Renee Lis.
With the devastating news regarding the leaked SCOTUS draft decision, which accurately indicated the imminent overturning of Roe v. Wade, Colleen Renee Lis decided to come forward to tell her abortion story on stage in front of a live audience and encouraged other women to tell their own stories regarding women's reproductive rights.
The result was Destigmatized: Our Bodies, Our Rights, Our Stories, an original play comprised of true stories written by Colleen Renee Lis, with contributing writers Nicole Boscarino & Mary Kate Portera. These are true stories and researched pieces covering: Abortion, Pregnancy Scares, Sexual Assault, Contraceptives/Birth Control, Sexual Education, Cost of Healthcare in the United States, and Adoption.
A reading of Destigmatized will take place on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at 7:00pm, at Burlington County Footlighters in Cinnaminson, NJ as part of Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey's event series Roe @ 50 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the passing of Roe v Wade.
