JEANNINE'S ABORTION: A PLAY IN ONE TRIMESTER

Hope Cartelli from Piper McKenzie and Eric Bland from Old Kent Road Theater join forces to present the world premiere of Jeannine’s Abortion: A Play in One Trimester, a Hope and Eric Experiment, which follows Jeannine and several of her peers over three months in New York City, during which time they exist with one another and Jeannine has an abortion.   

Casting features Siobhan Doherty, Sarah Engelke, Morgan Anne Zipf, Jeff Lewonczyk, and Emily Perkins.

Piper McKenzie (pipermckenzie.com) has been a fixture of the downtown and Brooklyn scenes since being founded by Hope Cartelli and Jeff Lewonczyk in 1998. Called "brazenly experimental, unapologetically populist, and surprisingly endearing" by IndieTheater.org, Piper McKenzie creates mock-epic movement theater and kinetic plays/musicals at the intersection of physicality, comedy and mythology (both pop-culture and historical).  Recent shows include the Fight Fest success Craven Monkey and the Mountain of Fury; the 2009 FringeNYC hit Willy Nilly: A Musical Exploitation of the Most Far-Out Cult Murders of the Psychedelic Era; the NYITA-nominated The Granduncle Quadrilogy: Tales from the Land of Ice; the popular serial Lady Cryptozoologist at the Vampire Cowboys Saloon, and the celebrated Bizarre Science Fantasy dance-theater series, whose most popular installment, Macbeth Without Words, was a standout of 2007's Pretentious Festival at The Brick.
