On the Exhale
by Martín Zimmerman
Theatre Exile 1340 South 13th St
When a senseless act of violence changes her life forever, a liberal college professor finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very weapon used to perpetrate the crime – and to the irresistible feeling of power that comes from holding life and death in her hands. Peering down the barrel of a uniquely American crisis, she begins to suspect that when it comes to gun violence, we’re all part of the problem.
Presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

A talking stork, lesbian moms, and the power to build your own baby… In this version of a near future society, prospective parents learn within the first weeks of conception which traits their child will have and what behaviors it is likely to exhibit. With rapid advances in reproductive technology today, modern eugenics is science’s Wild West. What will we do to “civilize” it and ourselves? How far will we go when playing God?
