ReproEco

Thursday April 24, 2025
7:00 – 9:00 PM
Pump House Regional Arts Center

ReproEco is a newly commissioned project asking six playwrights to create short plays that explore the intersection of reproductive health and environmental justice. Each play stands on its own, but together they tell a more complete scenario of how toxins and climate change affect our bodies and our communities.  These fact-based plays engage audiences with different theatrical storytelling genres.

Post-performance discussions with local professionals will help us take action and work toward a better planet—and future.

ReproEco play readings are free and open to the public, donations encouraged.
