A reading of “The Turnaway Play,” based on the work of Dr. Diana Greene Foster

Reception: 4:30-5:30 p.m.

Reading: 5:30 p.m.-7

“The Turnaway Play” is based on abortion research pioneered by Dr. Diana Greene Foster and written by Lesley Lisa Greene.

The play is inspired by the Turnaway Study, conducted by Dr. Diana Greene Foster, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Foster followed 1,000 women from for five years and obtained the first scientific results on the consequences people face when having or being denied an abortion. The play uses the experiences of these people to bust myths and reduce abortion stigma.
