Lauren Weedman BLOWS is a wry, contemporary look at what it means to be a single mom, an artist, and a woman in today’s creative economy. It is an exploration of what happens in the invisible second-half of a woman’s life, the part after all the traditional stories end and divorce, menopause, and impending financial collapse begin, while pursuing a career in the arts and resisting looming pressures to pack it up and get a “real job.” It’s a search for a Third Act – for survival, honesty, and normalcy in an increasingly isolated, digital society.
