SPANK: A Baby for Me? No Thank You New York Performances

Now playing live at UCB Theatre, *SPANK: A Baby for Me? No Thank You* is a comedy that treats reproductive choice less as a slogan than a set of awkward, specific conversations. It follows the social pressure around motherhood, the bargaining with partners and family, and the private logic people use to justify saying no. There is no widely documented NYC premiere history attached to the piece, but it sits inside a long New York tradition of stand-up and sketch using the stage as a public forum for taboo domestic subjects. Its plainspoken approach gives the jokes a sharper social outline.
