The Chocolate Factory theater in Queens will be presenting the world premiere of 2 Husbands by Ken Urban, directed by TCF Artistic Director Brian Rodgers. Located at at 5-49 49th Avenue, LIC (first stop on the 7 into Queens), performances are scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 5th and end April 28th. Performances run Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 PM, with added Sunday and Monday performances on April 8th and 9th.
“2 Husbands”, state press notes, “is a heavy-duty multi-media production that follows two narratives: First, we see the husband's perspective on the vegetable state of his former wife, his wish to terminate her life-support, and the media and political circus surrounding it (based on the Terri Schiavo case). The second is a husband who recently lost his wife in a tragedy. He hires a "messenger" from the After Life Telegram Service – a real organization that connects people who are about to die with people who recently lost someone so that they can memorize a message and deliver it to them in Heaven. As soon as he does, however, his dead wife starts making ghostly appearances. It is only when these two husbands' lives intersect are they finally able to find some solace.”

LIVINGSTON, United Kingdom, March 7, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A prenatal screening test given to a UK woman in early pregnancy showed her baby had died, and the next day she underwent a procedure to remove the child's body from the womb. Three weeks later, however, she discovered her baby was alive and healthy, in a miraculous escape from failed technology.
Jake Brown was born Feb. 24 at St. John's Hospital in Livingston, healthy and untouched by the trauma of his early development, The Telegraph reported March 7. His mother, Julie Brown, 29, said "The thought of them trying to get rid of a perfectly healthy baby makes me sick to the pit of my stomach, but I've got to move forward now."
