HAMS hopes to deliver with ‘Birth’

MAT-SU — Homeless Actors of Mat-Su are back for another performance, this one with a message about childbirth.

“Written by child advocate Karen Brody, (the play “Birth”) captures the truth about our childbirth crisis today: that it is failing most low-risk pregnant women. The play, performed as part of a global activist theater movement know as BOLD, uncovers the secret lives of women in labor,” according to a press release for the show.

Women in the play experience a wide range of births, some they didn’t expect, and some not entirely positive. Proceeds of the play will benefit the Alaska Birth network.

Tickets are $30 per person or $25 for students or seniors. They can be purchased at NonEssentials in Palmer or by contacting HAMS at 376-4252 or akhams@yahoo.com.
