FETAL

Frank Theatre remounts the successful world premiere of Trista Baldwin's new play, FETAL, Feb 22-March 10, 2024, at the Frank Rehearsal Studio, in the Ivy Building for the Arts, Suite 208, 2637 27th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55406. Tickets are $30 ($25, students and seniors).

Set in a Texas clinic on the day of the announcement of the Dobbs decision which overturned Roe v Wade, FETAL encompasses a kaleidoscope of reproductive journeys in an unfiltered exploration of women’s physical realities. Written at the end of federal abortion rights, Baldwin says, “FETAL is a love song to the body and a howl for freedom.”

FETAL will be performed by Kate Beahen, Carolyn Pool, Julia Valen and Elena Yazzie. The production is directed by Frank Artistic Director Wendy Knox, with scenery by Rick Polenek, lighting by Tony Stoeri, costumes by Kathy Kohl, sound by Dan Dukich, and stage management by Spencer Putney.

Performances are Thur, Fri and Sat at 7:30, and Sun at 2:00. There is NO LATE SEATING for the show.

SEATING IS LIMITED, SO ADVANCE PURCHASE IS RECOMMENDED. All ticket sales are final.

Mask-wearing will be required at all performances.
 

“Frank Theatre, after a three-plus year gap, has returned with a searing look at America’s crumbling reproductive rights and health care system.” – Ed Huyck

“Each one of the actors gives such an authentic performance, up close and personal with nowhere to hide in the small space. They just are these characters, with no artifice, and make us feel for their struggles.” – Cherry and Spoon

“It was breathtaking to see a snippet of abortion care so artfully portrayed–finally the beauty I see in my work, seen by others.” – Abortion care provider
