[caption id="attachment_27212" align="alignleft" width="300"] (photo credit: Monique Carboni)[/caption] I don't usually want for words, whether written or verbal....but this show left me speechless....and not in a good way.

Playwright Chiara Atik’s new play “BUMP” is essentially three different stories, all intertwined in a series of vignettes, about pregnancy and childbirth.

May 9th, 2018
When I told my 10 year old son we were headed to the theater to see a play, he hesitated. “Is it a musical?” “No.” “Then I’m not going.” Ever since he saw SpongeBob on Broadway, nothing else will do, so I read him the description of the show. When I was done, he ...
