About the Show

What if women knew the truth about childbirth in America? Birth is based on over one hundred interviews Karen Brody conducted with mothers across America who gave birth during 2000-2004. It tells the true stories of 8 women, painting a portrait of how low-risk, educated women are giving birth in America today.

Using a theatre-for-social-change model, Birth has sparked a global movement, Birth On Labor Day (BOLD) to make maternity care mother-friendly. BOLD has a 3-part mission of education, truth and action regarding maternity-care issues. It is also an awareness-raising and fundraising opportunity, supporting mother-initiated dialogue and solutions to maternity care.
