The Basement

Join us on Saturday, February 22nd for ’s Interesting Condition: Pregnant Characters I’ve Played or Wanted to Play: a pop-up of staged readings and monologues—featuring pregnant characters from modern comedy and drama—performed by a pregnant actor and her friends.

Pregnancy can be a fulfilling time personally, but what about creatively? For a performing artist, 9 months of gestation is interesting, to say the least, and as an actor, it’s rare to work on fulfilling roles while you’re expecting. My third-trimester solution? Look back on all the pregnant characters I’ve encountered from a life in contemporary theater and invite my friends to explore the good, the bad, and the funny of this weird, messy time in the lives of women on stage—both real and imagined.
