Lauren Weedman Blows

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. Every performance will be different.

"It's a show about single mothers, art, bankruptcy, isolation, survival, and dishwashers all blowing the same fuse over and over again in your shit apartment," said Lauren. “Blowing your life. Blowing your dreams. Your mind-you get it. Lots of blows."

"The economics of being a woman working, juggling the demands of single parenting, are broken," says Executive Producer Sandy Cioffi. "Whether that work is in nursing, teaching, or the arts, the numbers just don't add up. Lauren's had lots of successes - we can turn on prime time and see her playing Melissa's sister on ABBOT ELEMENTARY, Mayor Jo on HACKS, and Jules' therapist on EUPHORIA, but still, it's a struggle to pay for the basics, like childcare and rent. Lauren Weedman BLOWS pulls back the veil on the neo-liberal madness and gives voice to the vulnerabilities we're all facing. It's broken, and it blows."
