A hysterical take on what to expect when you're expecting someone else's child.
About this Event

Samsara by Lauren Yee
Co-Directed by Jamie M. Rea and Ajai Tripathi

Katie and Craig are having a baby… with a surrogate… who lives in India. A month before the baby’s due date, Craig reluctantly travels to the subcontinent, where he meets Suraiya, their young, less-than-thrilled surrogate. As all three “parents” anxiously wait for the baby to be born, flights of fancy attack them from all sides, in the form of an unctuous Frenchman and a smart-mouthed fetus. A hysterical take on what to expect when you're expecting someone else's child.

Samsara features both special Friday night pre-show performances by local artists and Sunday afternoon post-show discussions curated by Subashini Ganesan-Forbes, chair of the Oregon Arts Commission, former Create Laureate of Portland, and Founder and Artistic Director of New Expressive Works.
