You can also host a BOLD5 BIRTHday Party on Labor Day (or one of the re-broadcast dates in September).

Just like communities all around the world do when they perform BIRTH you can now Be BOLD and show the webcast of the play to your community and raise money and awareness to make maternity what we all know it can be for mothers. All you need is an internet connection and a television or screen that can connect to the internet.

We already know many Birth Networks plan to watch BIRTH via webcast. Join them!

This event is being co-produced by BOLD and Birth Focus of New York City.

The webcast is free!

When you register for the webcast you will:

• See the Internet debut of the play BIRTH and be among the very first to see the new script performed. In this version, there is a new birth story and it's a VBAC!
• Access the broadcast from wherever you are -- alone or have a BOLD Party. (Save us some cake!)
• Get to see our special venue - the brand-new Museum of Motherhood in New York City!
  
• See Ina May Gaskin as we honor her with the 1st-ever BEing BOLD Lifetime Achievement award.
• Watch playwright and BOLD founder Karen Brody honor 5 outstanding BOLD5 Honorees for their contribution to creatively improving maternity care.
  
• Get a coupon for the 5th anniversary DVD we are making. Get one for yourself or give it as a gift.
• And much more!
  

The performance was webcast live around the world on September 5. We're re-airing it again for free as a way of increasing awareness about mother-friendly maternity care issues. If that is important to you too, please help us tell everyone.

Finally a request: If you consider yourself a Friend of BOLD, we really want your help spreading the word about the free webcast.

Actually we want to let you in on a crazy secret. We love dreaming about the future when all women will have open access to an empowered birth experience and one of our dreams is to have every pregnant woman see this play.

What if as many people knew about Karen Brody's play BIRTH as they do about What to Expect, When You're Expecting?

How would the world be different?

These are the kinds of questions we find ourselves asking, and we won't find out without your help. Please email, tweet, post, and otherwise let people know about this event.
