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 in the face of 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? Suzanne’s play won awards for Best Autobiographical Script and Best Actress for star Anna Bridgforth when it premiered in the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City. It was also named a Best Play by Indie Theater Now and is included in ITN’s Plays and Playwrights 2017 Anthology. The show has toured to the London International Fringe Festival and all over the U.S., including a 7-week 9-city Connecticut tour and recent NYC Benefit run to support the vital legislative efforts of Access Connecticut.

The show was presented during National Adoption Awareness Month and JMTC Theatre partnered with Advocating Legislation for the Adoption Reform Movement (ALARM) to raise both funds and awareness.  A portion of the proceeds was donated to this not-for-profit organization and in conjunction with the performances, signatures were collected for the Petition calling for an Executive Order to restore Original Birth Certificates to All Adult Adoptees.
