The Progressive
"Brooklyn-based Cait Cortelyou got involved in RFA because she believes that “stories are the best way for people to digest emotional truths.” Before becoming part of the ensemble, the professional actor was a volunteer escort at Planned Parenthood and sees RFA “as a natural conflation of my work as an artist and as an activist.” Her piece, the humorous Placenta Playground, was written by Melissa Bell and describes the author’s post-childbirth dilemma over what to do with the placenta currently being stored in her household’s freezer."
