ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Melissa Hurst has played featured roles on television's LAW AND ORDER and GUIDING LIGHT, and recently played Dr. Cambrini in the film LOVE IN 3 MINUTES (Liz Anwar, Writer/Director, Spike Lee, Creative Consultant). She has performed in numerous award-winning New York and regional productions, appearing alongside Marylouise Burke, Allison Janney, Will Patton, Josh Brolin, and many others. In NYC, Melissa is a member of the Playwright's Gallery Acting Company, and is a regular performer in the cult hit show, CAUSE CELEB!

"A funny, moving, and irreverently told tale of one woman's quest for motherhood... Melissa takes the audience through the extraordinary journey that begins with the idea of having a child... and shows us that nothing stands in the way of love and perseverence.

"This one-woman play has been performed throughout the Northeast to excellent reviews and enthusiastic audiences.  

'The evening was a gentle reminder of what good theatre must do,' said Joe Brancato, artistic director of Penguin Rep, where the show played to a sell-out audience.  While it entertains, it also stirs the gray matter and moves an audience to action.

"People who are considering adoption and those who already have adopted youngsters are often part of Hurst's' audiences. 

'It's a very entertaining and thought-provoking performance about motherhood.'"
