Can you imagine not knowing your own identity? That’s the reality for millions of adoptees and the focus of Suzanne Bachner’s award-winning show, The Good Adoptee, which will tour Connecticut this fall to help garner support for restoring Connecticut adoptees’ access to their original birth certificates.
The tour will run Oct. 22 to Dec. 9, coinciding with National Adoption Awareness Month and will benefit Access Connecticut’s adoptee rights efforts. Each performance will include a post-show Talk Back with Suzanne Bachner and Anna Bridgforth who stars in the production.
About The Good Adoptee
The Good Adoptee chronicles Suzanne Bachner’s true story of her intrepid and relentless search for her birth parents in the face of New York State’s sealed records. Once she opens Pandora’s Box, there’s no turning back. The show is a gripping mystery and often hilarious adventure as Suzanne’s search brings her up against legalized government information suppression and all the ensuing roadblocks and conflicts both external and internal – an officious social worker, her loyalty to her beloved Mom and Dad, the temptation to become her own Identity Thief and an outrageous reality show genealogist.
The play is written and directed by Suzanne Bachner and stars Anna Bridgforth. Bob Brader is the Dramaturg. Katie Chai is the sound designer.
The Good Adoptee had its world premiere last fall in the United Solo Theatre Festival, the world’s largest solo theatre festival, where it won the Awards for Best Autobiographical Script, Suzanne Bachner and Best Actress, Anna Bridgforth.
