What happens at a baby shower stays at a baby shower.
It's Samantha's baby shower and everyone is coming. Well... almost everyone.
The Mommy Rants takes you to a baby shower where, naturally, conversation turns to the crazy journey of motherhood. Pregnancy and new moms; women with no children and those who don’t want children and women who have tried to have children but can’t. Fathers are not left out, as we have a stay at home dad who is dealing with problems of his own. This humorous and touching one act play explores all the insane things that happen when you become a mother and the experiences no one dares to talk about.
The Mommy Rants plays on Friday, May 7 at 11a.m. & 3 p.m.; Saturday, May 8 at 3 p.m. & 8 p.m. and
Sunday, May 9 (Mother’s Day) at 1p.m. & 4 p.m. at Theatre O, 5311 Western Ave. Suite O in Boulder. Tickets are $15 and available by calling 720-890-6141 or on line at www.rantingmamas.com.

Christie Winn received her BA in Theater Arts from the University of Northern Colorado and then moved to Chicago where she received her Masters in Education and did professional children's theater for ten years. She has written children's plays for The Northbrook Theater receiving rave reviews for her one act, Coffee Talk. Back in Denver Christie began teaching elementary school and, of course, she became a mother- which inspired her to write The Mommy Rants. Thus, as a Mommy and a Ranter she felt extremely qualified to write this play.
Connie Ferger holds an MFA in Prose from Naropa University. She has had several short screenplays produced and her upcoming short Carma will be released summer 2010 by Slacktronix Productions. Connie has been published in the Ventura County Reporter, Elephant Magazine, and other periodicals. She served as the editor-in-chief for Bombay Gin, Naropa’s famed literary magazine. She currently runs her own freelance marketing business, but her most important job is being a mama.
