LAUREN WEEDMAN BLOWS
“I’M NOT SURE WE’VE SEEN ANYONE LIKE LAUREN WEEDMAN BEFORE.”
— LA WEEKLY
Award-winning comedic actress (HACKS, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, EUPHORIA, LOOKING), playwright, and author Lauren Weedman returns to the stage with Lauren Weedman BLOWS, a new comedy cabaret solo adventure.
Lauren Weedman BLOWS is a wry, contemporary look at what it means to be a single mom, an artist, and a woman in today’s creative economy. It is an exploration of what happens in the invisible second-half of a woman’s life, the part after all the traditional stories end and divorce, menopause, and impending financial collapse begin, while pursuing a career in the arts and resisting looming pressures to pack it up and get a “real job.” It’s a search for a Third Act – for survival, honesty, and normalcy in an increasingly isolated, digital society.
Seventy-five percent of the show is scripted, and twenty-five percent is discovered during the performance making being there, live, matter.
