Hormones, IUI, IVF, donors, talk of surrogates, and the inevitable adoption question, comedian Kathleen Puls Andrade has endured them all. She tells her story in Journey to the Center of the Uterus™: Adventures Infertility!
This original multi-media show is a humorously poignant piece about the entire infertility experience. Kathleen takes the audience on a roller coaster ride through her experiences with doctors of varying personalities, would-be supporters with foot in mouth disease, the ups and downs of hormones, shots, procedures and more. Using animation, interviews with real men and women from 35 to 85, and original music by Marshall Stern, the show aims to make the audience laugh while giving them perspective on the whole crazy process. It's not all about the funny, though, as Kathleen describes her battle with the effects of the hormones, drugs and procedures. This honest, personal tale will make you laugh, gasp, cry, and think.
"As far as I know, there’s nothing out there like this show and there are so many who suffer in silence. My husband and I always found ways to make ourselves laugh throughout the years of trying to get pregnant and that, to me, was a sanity saver," explains Kathleen, "and now I want to help others laugh a little too."
Journey to the Center of the Uterus™ is not just for those dealing with infertility. People who know others going through IVF or anyone interested in a great, funny story will love it too.
Wednesdays at 8pm and Sundays at 7pm, September 23 through October 28, 2009.
