The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Fullerton (UUCF) Social Action Committee presents a play and fundraiser for Planned Parenthood on Saturday, May 31, at 5 PM.  The performance will occur in the First Christian Church at 109 E. Wilshire in Fullerton.  

 UUCF congregant and award-nominated So Cal actress Rose London spins a zany tale about Bela Lugosi, the iconic star of Dracula, and Edna St. Vincent Millay, the Jazz Age poet—how the feminist who burns the candle at both ends meets up with (or does she?) the vampire player and political refugee from Hungary determined to leave his mark on the world, or at least on its neck. This smart, imaginative, funny, and thought-provoking piece explores passion, poetry, and fame with razor-sharp wit.   Written by award-winning playwright Jordan R. Young and directed by award-winning director Christine Cummings.

In addition to the performance, Jordan R. Young will be selling his books, Let Me Entertain You and The Laugh Crafters: Comedy Writing in Radio and TV’s Golden Age.  We have a variety of raffle prizes donated by UUCF congregants.  In addition, Kristin Langlois, head of donor relations for Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties, will host a table and say a few words about their organization and the work they are doing to support women across the country.  All proceeds will go to our local Planned Parenthood to help defray the costs of travel for women from other states who must travel to states like California for abortion care.

 This is a UUCF Social Action event you won’t want to miss!  Tickets for the play are $20 and can be purchased at the door or in advance on the website: uufullerton.org.
