The Oregon Midwifery Council is excited to announce a performance of BIRTH on Saturday, September 20th,2 pm at the Winningstad Theatre at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. http://www.pcpa.com/events/winny.php

BIRTH is a play based on over one hundred interviews Karen Brody conducted with mothers across America who gave birth between 2000-2004. It tells the true stories of 8 women painting a portrait of how low-risk, educated women are giving birth in America today.

Christine Northrup says of the show:  "Birth On Labor Day is an exciting, uplifting and empowering answer to our nation's childbirth crisis.  I support this movement with every fiber of my being." 

A discussion panel of local birth professionals/activists will immediately follow the show.
