Founded by award-winning playwright Ayvaunn Penn, the second biannual Stethoscope Stage play festival is being hosted by the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University and produced by Theatre TCU. The festival will be held at 1PM CT on October 19, 2024 in PepsiCo Recital Hall located at TCU. Admission is FREE and open to the public, but seat reservations are required.
With unsettling statistics around maternal mortality rates in the United State of America and stories such as those of Kyira Adele Dixon, Serena Williams, and most recently Kate Cox at the forefront of press and national conversations, the Stethoscope Stage 2024 theme reflects on maternal health and effective — or ineffective — communication between women and their healthcare providers. The festival consists of an approximately 90-minute staged reading of selected plays and monologues followed by a panel discussion led by medical professionals and a medical student.
