About the Show

A comedy about motherhood, family, and doing what comes naturally.

Max is a single, unemployed lesbian who just gave birth. She also has a house that’s falling apart, an ex on the loose, and no clue how to nurse her newborn. She turns to Goldie, an Orthodox Jewish lactation consultant to guide her into motherhood, despite their conflicting family values.

The production is part of 59E59 Theaters' inaugural VOLT Festival, which this year celebrates the work of playwright Karen Hartman.

The cast includes Blair Baker ('The Humans') and Lauren Molina ('Sweeney Todd').

Quirky, Funny, Creative

See it if The first half of the play is fresh and surprising. The actors make their characters interesting.

Don't see it if The dialog gets preachy and overbearing. The creativity loses steam and the characters repeat themselves.

"This is a mystery production. How did it happen and why? I am clueless. There is a slew of good intentions here, but they don’t amount to much. Too bad."
