ABOUT THE SHOW
Rooted in Shakespeare's classicpoetry, this adaptation will explore fresh perspectives and find resonancewith the present moment. With an energetic, fast-pacednarrative, this story is both refuge and reckoning, embracingthe bonds of kinship, the wonder of mysticism, and thehaunted beauty of a homeland that is fiercely worth the fight.

The State of Minnesota recently released the Minnesota Maternal Mortality Report, which found that the no. 1 cause of death in the period of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum was mental health. Solving a crisis in this complex requires cross-disciplinary connection, which led CAHSS to host a community discussion and interprofessional dialogue on postpartum mental health.

Over two evenings in the Kathryn A. Martin Library rotunda, CAHSS brought together 85 researchers, health professionals, and community members ranging from psychologists and pharmacists to social workers and doulas. By setting the stage for lived-experience and frontline expertise to meet, we created a space where folks could share frustrations, align on best practices, and build a more integrated network of care.
