Our newest featured list was curated by playwright Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: "There is no shortage of plays about parenthood, pregnancy, their pitfalls and their phenomenal joys. In fact, there are SO many plays about parenthood, pregnancy, yadda yadda that it can be a bit overwhelming. Kind of like parenthood and pregnancy. In honor of the rollercoaster of emotions invoked by hormones (among other things), here is a list of diverse plays about pregnancy and 'what to expect' once those nine months or so are over. I hope you enjoy their commentary, comedy, and insight into the pregnant and postpartum condition."
