The State of My Uterus; Stories From the Post-Roe Resistance

"The State of My Uterus: Stories from the Post-Roe Resistance"

N0VEMBER 7, 2025 | 7:00PM

In a world where bodies have become battlegrounds, Allegory returns with a raw, unflinching revival: "The State of My Uterus: Stories from the Post-Roe Resistance." This powerful live storytelling event amplifies the voices of those directly impacted by the fall of Roe v. Wade—individuals navigating the shattered landscape of reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and healthcare access.

From harrowing accounts of denied abortions to the quiet grief of child loss, from frontline activists fighting for change to medical professionals working in the shadows, these stories hurt, howl, and heal. This is not a debate—it’s a human reckoning. With equal parts rage and resilience, storytellers lay bare the emotional and physical toll of living in a nation that polices uteruses while refusing to protect those who inhabit them. Yet amid the pain, we also spotlight the warriors, organizers, and everyday heroes rewriting the future—one law, one protest, one act of defiance at a time.

Allegory thrives where discomfort meets truth. We don’t shy from controversy; we lean into it with trembling hands and open hearts. This is storytelling as survival, as protest, as a lifeline thrown across the dark.

Content Warning: This show contains graphic descriptions of medical trauma, pregnancy loss, systemic violence, and emotional distress. Recommended for ages 16+.
