University Theatre presents timely legal drama
Thursday, Nov. 19 | 7:30 p.m. | Hosted via Zoom
The MSUM School of Performing Arts presents Roe, a play by Lisa Loomer, Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, is still fiercely debated over forty years later. In this incisive play, Loomer cuts through the headlines and rhetoric to reveal the divergent personal journeys of lawyer Sarah Weddington and plaintiff Norma McCorvey (“Jane Roe”) in the years following the fateful decision. In turns shocking, humorous, and poignant, Roe reflects the polarization in America today while illuminating the heart and passion each side has for its cause.
The play is rated PG-13.
