PlayGround has announced a limited run of the Hollywood Fringe hit, BREED OR BUST by Joyful Raven, directed by Jael Weisman. Following a one-night performance on August 26 (press night) as part of the inaugural PlayGround Free-Play Festival, Breed or Bust will run September 9-24, Fridays-Saturdays at 7pm PDT, in-person at Potrero Stage and simulcast live. To breed or not to breed: that is the question award winning solo show artist Joyful Raven wrestles with in her new solo show. Blending standup and storytelling, Raven recounts her difficult reproductive choices and contends with her primal baby making instincts. Should she surrender to the role of weird aunty OR start a GoFundMe to freeze her geriatric eggs? With her breeding window rapidly shrinking, she reflects on her abortions, the father of her abortions and the complexity of modern womanhood. Come for the laughs and stay for the sex educationin case you forgot how babies were made.Through dark humor and unabashedly honest storytelling, Raven offers a unique and nuanced perspective on a womans right to choose, an issue that is painfully relevant due to the recent Supreme Courts decision on Roe vs. Wade. The show is fresh off an award winning run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in Los Angeles where it received a Producers Encore Award and was nominated for Best Comedy out of a sea of 200 + shows. It also received a Gold Medal from tv.revolution and was called a Brillant, Brilliant show by Noho Arts in Los Angeles.
