Coming this September! Idle Muse Theatre Company's Jane: Abortion and the Underground! It's a story about an important part of women's rights and it's history in CHICAGO! You can buy your tickets now at idlemuse.org!

"Jane" was the code name for an underground service in Chicago, run by a collective of housewives and students, that brought safe and affordable abortions to 11,000 women from 1969 to 1973. Based on interviews with the women who ran this legendary organization before Roe v. Wade, Jane: Abortion and the Underground tells the stories of the fight for freedom over their bodies that continues today.
