| MY FORMERLY EMPTY UTERUSWHAT:
Overacting Imaginations Youth Theatre Society presents My Formerly Empty Uterus, Monday May 17th at Festival Place. Tickets are $10.00 in advance through Ticketmaster and $12.00 at the door.
WHEN and WHERE
Monday, May 17th; Doors at 7:30pm at Festival Place Theatre, 100 Festival Way, Sherwood Park, AB
WHY:
Overacting Imaginations Theatre produces its annual social issue drama every spring. For the spring of 2010 the youth of OAI have decided to produce and perform a show on the controversial topic of teen pregnancy.
My Formerly Empty Uterus promises to be both an educational and entertaining experience. For the past 4 months, 15 teens have been actively exploring the issues, stereotypes, stories, emotions, history and facts on teen pregnancy. They’ve delved into the personal stories of teen mothers and fathers of Strathcona County while tackling the mathematics of budgeting as a single teen parent. They’ve been amazed at the capability of the human body. They’ve questioned their peers and those around them on their sentiments, stereotypes and ideas concerning teen pregnancy. They’ve struggled with their ideas and emotions on the options facing teen parents. Collaboratively, they have taken these experiences and mixed them into a colourful mosaic of the truth. My Formerly Empty Uterus will have you laughing out loud as you experience teen pregnancy through the eyes of teens. The show is suitable for ages 12+ however parental guidance is recommended.
