The Appointment is a musical satire about the abortion debate. Song & Dance numbers belted out by grotesque talking fetuses combine with realistic scenes set in an abortion clinic to create a unique, surreal look at the state of abortion in America. Part Nightmare Clown Show, part Documentary Realism, part Musical Comedy - The Appointment asks difficult questions about your pre-conceived notions about abortion.
The Appointment ran in March of 2019 as a part of High Pressure Fire Service at FringeArts in Philadelphia, and in April/May of 2019 as a part of Next Door at New York Theatre Workshop in New York.
From January 12 - Feb 4, 2023, The Appointment will have a limited Off-Broadway run at WP Theatre, NYC.
