What do you do when your life is casually on the verge of collapse? Beth is struggling to stay afloat as a single parent, a working professional, and a 45-year-old resident of her mother’s basement. Diving into the complex relationship between mother and child, Why It’s Impossible to Raise a G̶i̶r̶l̶ is a dark and funny one-woman show about life’s transitions and parenting in precarious times.
