A Baby For Me? No Thank You, Please! at The Lyric Hyperion

People have opinions about whether Bailey should have kids. Unfortunately, a horrifying trip to the gyno forces her to have one, too. When everyone in her life pressured Bailey to have a baby, she spent a lot of time questioning, researching, and agonizing over what was wrong with her—until she found the answer, inside her guts—at the gyno’s office. This solo comedy explores what it means to sift through the gunk and finally trust your inner voice!
