WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Stage and screen favorite Julia Sweeney returns to New York in a special limited engagement of Julia Sweeney: In the Family Way at the Ars Nova Theater. Written and performed by Sweeney and directed by Mark Brokaw, the show begins with Julia at a crossroads in her life, taking stock and struck with the realization: 'Oh my God, I forgot to have a family!' She's in her late 30s, professional ambitions fulfilled, yet single and without children. This latest work follows her odyssey as she adopts a child, becomes the mother of a toddler overnight and faces the challenges of dating as a single mom. The show begs the question: Can today's modern woman really have it all?

The magic of the 75-minute, one-woman show Julia Sweeney: In The Family Way is in the details. A true story of Sweeney's adoption of a child from another country, the piece is interwoven with hilarious and poignant moments in a gentle pattern that finally proves effective. Written and performed by Sweeney, who is known primarily from her work as the androgynous character Pat on Saturday Night Live and for her previous one-woman show God Said "Ha!", The Family Way isn't always as moving as "Ha!" but one leaves the theater entertained and gratified by its intimacy.
As related in God Said "Ha!", Sweeney battled cancer successfully but had to have a hysterectomy. In the new piece, she wakes[...]
