Co-Created by Dr. Roberta Suzette Hunte and Beirut Wedding PUSH is a devised theatre piece portraying the realities of black maternal health disparities in Oregon and ways people are working for change. It is informed by the narratives and expertise of Black doulas, public health workers, midwives, birthing people, researchers, and home visitors.

In summer 2024, Dr. Hunte collaborated with Bobby Bermea and Jamie Rea of Beirut Wedding to present a first staged reading of Push. PassinArt is excited to present the next iteration of the devised piece as part of Black Women’s Wellness Event to highlight the urgency of the Black maternal health crisis, and the opportunities for sustainable lifesaving alternatives.
