Hello health sciences students!
You are invited for an evening of theatre and discussion on campus. This event aims to provide space for students to engage with each other across health professions, about the challenges and grief that can accompany or arise from the very human work of being a healthcare provider. A short play will be performed live by professional actors, with discussion to follow.
February 19, 2020, 5:30-7:30pm
South Campus Center
Dinner will be served!
A brief description of the 15-minute play, Untold:
When Faith Morgan comes to the hospital to deliver her baby, she knows he is stillborn, but does not know the full-extent of what “giving birth to death” means. With the assistance of Dr. Audrey Armstrong and Nurse Paul George, Faith goes through the physical pain of childbirth and rides out her conflicted emotions while Dr. Armstrong and Nurse George relive their own stories of child loss. Together they come to a determination of how best to honor this child.
Warning: The play contains scenes of childbirth and may trigger feelings of depression and grief especially among those who have suffered miscarriage, still birth, failed IVF and unsuccessful adoption.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Please register by February 10, 2020, by clicking here.
