The approximate run time of the event is 75 minutes with no intermission. The event will be followed by a talkback with Megan Dolan.   

 A dynamic solo show written and performed by Megan Dolan, is a heartfelt comedy about a mother raising a son on the spectrum, who feels she’s falling short of expectations. With humor, warmth, and brutal honesty, Megan persists through painful playdates, bewildering support groups, and crazy making meal times – taking countless wrong turns along the way.  

“Megan gifts the audience the one thing every parent is looking for:  a safe space to redefine heroism as the ability to laugh, love, and cry all while wanting to slow down time because you don’t want to miss a thing.” –LA Parent Magazine
