Doors open at 6:30 pm PT.
This documentary-style stage production is built from interviews with Idaho physicians about practicing, and deciding whether to stay, amid Idaho’s current legal climate. Professional actors perform edited transcripts and original narration, illuminating how policy meets the exam room and how those decisions ripple through families and communities in Idaho.
The stage production will be followed by a Q&A with community leaders, medical care providers, activists. Audience participation is welcome. Tickets are free but please reserve your seat!
The script is informed by “Change in Number of OB/GYN Physicians Practicing Obstetrics After the Dobbs Decision,” a JAMA Network Open research letter published July 31, 2025, which found that between August 2022 and December 2024 Idaho lost 35% of obstetric‑practicing OB/GYNs with just 23 obstetricians serving 569,000 Idahoans across 37 largely rural counties (McEachern, Traylor, Roman). The performance centers the lived experiences of providers who have remained as well as those who have left.
