Lawrence playwright invites hometown to join conversations on maternal health outcomes

Timmia Hearn DeRoy set out to write a play about maternal morbidity that spoke to its author. Now it’s Lawrence’s turn to help workshop a play that speaks to the community.

During a series of rehearsals, staged readings and talkbacks in the coming weeks, DeRoy invites everyone to participate in a community conversation about maternal health outcomes, using as a springboard DeRoy’s 10-act play, “On-Born Children and Ghosts.”
