| Journey to the Center of the Uterus |
|
| The Greenhouse Theater Center |
 |
| |
This original show takes you on a roller coaster ride through the fertility fray with differing doctors, "supportive"
friends who declare "you'd get pregnant if you weren't so fat!", adventures in the "special man room", and so much
more. Through entertaining characters, animation by Andrew Eninger, interviews with men and women ages 35 to
85, and funny inventive music by the talented singer/songwriter Marshall Stern, the show promises to make the
audience laugh while giving them perspective on the whole conception conundrum. This universally appealing show
will make both men and women laugh, gasp, and think.
“7.3 million women and couples deal with infertility and even more people know someone who has dealt with
infertility and yet it’s still in the closet!” says Ms. Puls Andrade. She goes on to say that “Journey to the Center of
the Uterus has already helped many laugh about their own journey and even more to understand what infertility is
all about. There is still shame associated with this issue so my goal is to share the laughter and insights with a wider
audience--and it’s just a darned good story!”

| Sugar |

Sugar originally debuted as the widely known film Some Like it Hot, starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and the blonde goddess, Marilyn Monroe. The film then was transformed into the musical Sugar, which opened at the Majestic Theater in 1972, running for 505 performances and earning four Tony Award nominations. In this side-splitting musical, two struggling musicians witness what appears to be the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and try to find a way out of the city under the threat of the mob. Unfortunately, they are in no position to finance such a move. Desperate times call for desperate measure and the pair take on the only job available—as an all-female band heading to Florida. The cross-dressing frauds board a train and ride right into a world of trouble.
