Abortion Weekend

This was such an amazing performance. I took myself and youth from the LA LGBT Youth Center and we were all blown away! It was so amazing to see POC representation as aswell as LGBTQ representation. The youth were so excited they wanted to see it again as well as the movie! Thank you again and I wish you the best of luck!... full review

This is by far the best show I have seen at Fringe this year!!! And so timely, really reclaiming the narrative in our time when the power is constantly being taken away from women, especially WOC, when it comes to control over our body. Such incredible storytelling through a mix of performance styles, incorporating character sketch impressions, poetry, prose, rap, dance, and conventional theatre dialogue. It was like a brilliant SNL skit that really made you laugh and cry like crazy!... full review

One of the funniest shows I have seen at any Fringe Festival, Abortion Weekend is timely, relevant, hilarious, and poignant. An emotional rollercoaster, I was invested for the entire hour.... full review

My spirit was moved. An empowering show that braves a subject that must be talked about more with such humanity in these times. I appreciate how the show highlights all aspects of a person's abortion experience and their relationships along the way. Jairis and Mareshah are a phenomenal duo but also dynamic performers as individuals. I cried and laughed and felt a lasting impact. The ending was magic! A must see show!... full review

A must see! A timely piece that does a fantastic job blending humor with the tragedies of living in a time when the powers that be want to take the autonomy women have over our bodies away. ... full review

WHOA! I thank our ancestors I was able to be in the same space as Jairis and Mareshah. To see them on stage in the flesh was a true gift. “Abortion Weekend” was more than a piece, it was more than a show. I felt as though I was seeing a play that manifested from deep truths and touched on many issues in the Black community – and our society – including our own personal struggles that can go without words…until now – until the two of them. Jairis and Mareshah have a real way of connecting you to the story; their ability to use real language and address hard issues in a variety of honest ways was beyond refreshing.... full review
