Synopsis

Stretchmarks is a hilarious, heartfelt play about the journey of a lifetime: motherhood! It is the story of three very different women as they go from being child of a mother to mother of a child. We follow along as we see their deepest challenges and struggles in being new mothers...everything from sleep deprivation, to work-life balance, to coming to grips with their relationships with their own mothers, to expressing that ineffable love a mother feels for their child. All being guided by the wisdom and good humor of Mother Nature. It is a very funny and touching play, written by mommas for mommas...it will have you laughing and crying...and when you get home you just might call your mother!
