Brumley’s The Clinic is an ensemble piece about abortion providers in Wichita over nine months, which traces the way their lives change when they are faced with providing service under impossible circumstances. In the past 14 weeks, 10 readings of The Clinic have been staged in cities like Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and New York City, with more to come this fall.
The readings have not only raised money for organizations such as the Yellowhammer Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and independent health clinics. They have also help create activist communities in many locations. One reading at Wilbury Theatre Group in Providence, R.I., was sold out, and followed by a panel discussion with state Senator Gayle Goldin, Jordan Hevenor of the Womxn Project, and Tiara TyShae of the Women’s Health & Education Fund.
