Two Pink Lines
A New Play
By Caitlin LaBarge
About the Show
What happens after those two pink lines turn “positive”? There are as many stories as there are pregnancies, all intimately personal and all a mirror on society. In “Two Pink Lines,” playwright and doula Caitlin LaBarge pays homage to “The Vagina Monologues”, centering dramatic stories of pregnancy, birth, abortion and loss - all drawn from real-world experience, research and interviews - in a time when the right to personal reproductive choice is under attack.

Caitlin trained at the American Academy of Dramatic arts and is thrilled to be producing her first full length original work . Caitlin has performed in productions throughout the Tri-State Area including: The Importance of Being Ernest (Cecily), Cymbeline (Caius Lucius), Teach Me How to Die (Various), The After Dinner Joke (Dent), Sterling Renaissance Festival (Lord Mayor’s Wife), Simon the Invisible Boy (swing).
Caitlin is incredibly excited to be combining her two passions with this production. After going through her own pregnancy loss journey in 2019, Caitlin started writing Two Pink Lines in order to answer the question: Why does no one trust uterus havers with their own reproductive journey? While doing research and interviews for this production Caitlin felt called to birth work. Since becoming a DONA certified birth doula at the end of 2022, she has worked to bring the joy and love into every single Labor & Delivery room.
No one should feel infantilized as they become a parent.
Two Pink Lines could be a valuable education tool for medical students, midwives, or anyone with a Uterus.
