Can you imagine not knowing your own identity?

The Good Adoptee is the riveting and outrageous true story of award-winning playwright Suzanne Bachner’s search for the truth of her origins and her birth parents as she confronts the uncooperative and often arrogant bureaucracy that guards New York State’s sealed records. Once she opens Pandora’s Box, can she find a way to integrate her dual identities and still remain “the Good Adoptee”? The show has won awards for Best Autobiographical Script for Suzanne and Best Actress for star Anna Bridgforth when it premiered in the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City. The Good Adoptee was also named a Best Play by Indie Theater Now and included in ITN’s Plays and Playwrights 2017 anthology. The show has toured to the London Fringe and all over the U.S. including presentations for Adoption Network Cleveland, Concerned United Birthparents (FL), Calo Programs (MO), The Lara Touch Studio (NYC), Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York (AFFCNY), Adoption Knowledge Affiliates (Austin, TX) and as the Keynote Presenter for Indiana Adoptee Network’s 2nd Annual Conference. The Good Adoptee raised funds and awareness for Origins Canada, Access Massachusetts and completed a 7-week 9-city Connecticut tour and a 4-show NYC benefit to support the vital legislative efforts of Access Connecticut.
