On September 14, Bishop Francis J. Kane overruled the parishioners' pastor, Reverend William Kenneally, and asserted that "THE ANSWER" – a play about abortion, politics, and a public family’s travail in the grips of both – could not be performed anywhere in the Archdiocese of Chicago . . . But then pastors from other denominations learned of the banning and responded by offering their sanctuaries as host locations for the play and the common ground-building discussion slated to follow each performance. Now this "ripped from the headlines" drama will be performed as scheduled October 1 – 3, and offer its theatrical story as a creative way to analyze the painfully complex issue of abortion and its role in the selection of an American leader.

On Saturday, September 4 at 6:30 AM, Chatman appears on WGN-TV’s "People to People" with host Steve Sanders, sharing the story of how the sudden onset of ovarian cancer and the autoimmune disease dermatomyositis in the fall of 2002 left her so weak she was unable to feed herself for weeks. Two years later, in full remission and in treatment at Northwestern Memorial's MDA Neuromuscular Clinic, Chatman is back on her feet, back at the computer, and her first project is "THE ANSWER," a controversial play begun twenty years ago that reads like today’s headlines.Set and performed in a Catholic church, this spiritual musical in one act explores the dilemma of a Catholic Democrat under fire for supporting pro-choice legislation.
