Event Details
Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative presents Symone with a Y, written by Roger Collins.
Symone Edwards, an African American woman diagnosed with “unexplained infertility,” hopes to publish a children’s book with her friend and book illustrator who has recently become pregnant. That the women met at an infertility clinic makes their contrary circumstances all the more challenging for Symone. As disappointments mount and childhood wounds resurface, Symone is driven to the brink of her ability to cope.
