About this Event
Where better to start a musical about motherhood than the parking lot of Trader Joe's?
In this heart-filled comedy, we watch two friends navigate their way through the ups, downs and total WTF's of parenting. They pluck, play and perform all the parts in this musical mom-confessional.. which is best served with a glass of "please don't ask me any more questions."
1 friendship, 2 husbands, 3 kids.
19 original songs.
18 years in 85 minutes.
165,000 hats to wear.
...Ahhhh, the beautiful mess of motherhood.
