HFTN Youth Council Call for Actors: 1 in 3 Abortion Stories Play


Healthy+Free TN Youth Leadership Council and Creative Resistance is putting on a staged reading of "Out of Silence: Abortion Stories from the 1 in 3." 

Inspired by real abortion stories from the 1 in 3 women in the U.S. who will have had an abortion in their lifetime, "Out of Silence: Abortion Stories from the 1 in 3" confronts the cacophony of polarizing political rhetoric that surrounds abortion and instead asks us to listen to the voices of women and to explore with them the situations, relationships, emotions and logistics that contextualize their decisions to seek abortion care.

Composed of a series of vignettes, Out of Silence, is at times heartbreaking, funny, and even commonplace but always thought provoking and honest.

We will be casting for five characters (four folks with vaginas, one without, with the potential to shift according to needs)
If you are interested in auditioning, please contact Shawn Reilly at [email protected].

Participants should be prepared to read from the Out of Silence script. **ALL AUDITIONING PARTIES MUST RSVP BY EMAILING SHAWN AT [email protected] IN ORDER TO CONFIRM YOUR SPOT*

Show date: Thursday March 30th at 7:00 p.m. (to be confirmed)

Any and all questions, inquiries, and concerns can be sent to Shawn at [email protected]. Please share widely with any and all folks who may be interested in auditioning. No experience required, we will work with you if you are casted! We are also accepting help for the production of the show. If interested, please e-mail Shawn.
