"Birth," a Play About Mothers and Childbirth, Comes to Sarasota Next Week

Many living in the Sarasota area have likely never seen it. They may wonder what it’s like, and whether or not the experience could change how they feel about, well, life –– or, more specifically, the roles that mothers play in the complex process that helps to safely usher it into our world. Answers to these questions will be available soon, though, as the play is scheduled for performances on Oct. 5 and 6 at 7 p.m. at New College of Florida’s Black Box Theater, and on Oct. 7 at 4 p.m. at the Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center behind the WSLR studio. It is being directed and performed completely by volunteers, and all proceeds will go to support WSLR, Sarasota’s community radio station.
