Words of Choice at Summer of Choice & Trust
A woman's right to choose soars in a tapestry of 14 powerful 'shorts'  serious and comic. These are stories from the heart: humorous and tender;  poignant and riveting, from theater, spoken word,  comedy,  poetry,  oral history and journalism.  "Smart, funny, endangered!"

Words of Choice II! Professional theater with an  exciting collection of works from a dozen writers, performed by an ensemble of actors.

Fascinating stories:

- Letter writers pour out their feelings to Justice Harry Blackmun

- A fed-up doctor outwits anti-abortion harassers

- A young woman reaches to a higher power before a pregnancy test

- Two women unburden 14 years of sin

- A Vietnam vet recounts the terror of an illegal abortion

Three actors, 65 minutes, and stories that will inspire you, enrich you, remind you  & stay with you. Created by Cindy Cooper, Words of Choice has traveled to 20 states to open new conversations about reproductive freedom.

Be entertained! Get informed!  And show your support for reproductive freedom, as we raise funds for abortion access funds, support Dr. LeRoy Carhart working in Germantown MD, and celebrate prochoice activists throughout the Maryland and DC area. [See directions from Germantown MD on 'Upcoming Shows' at our website, www.wordsofchoice.org.]

Words of Choice, Live Performance at 5 pm.

Performance followed by a discussion.
