About the Show
Molly is pregnant and her boyfriend, Andrew, is overjoyed. But when Molly is diagnosed with hyperemesis (severe morning sickness) it becomes clear that Andrew and his parents are more concerned about the baby’s health than her own. And when Andrew starts planning a future for them that is very different from what she had in mind, she worries she is losing her agency as a person and being seen only as a mom.

Reviews
Arts-Louisville.com, “Blessings of Being a Woman”,
“as a director, Grimany does a good job of guiding her actors, especially Parker and Gibson, to find space for weighted glances and sarcastic vocal asides that developed a rapport that rings true.”
