BABY SHOWER KATIE
By Beth Hyland
Directed by Jessica Fisch
April 14–May 9, 2027 | World Premiere
Part of the Bonnie Hammerschlag National Capital New Play Festival
The Bonnie Hammerschlag National Capital New Play Festival returns with the hilarious world premiere of Baby Shower Katie. Best friends Rebecca and Hannah are at a crossroads: Rebecca desperately wants a child, while Hannah can’t imagine anything worse. Across four baby showers, thrown for three different women named Katie, Rebecca and Hannah are forced to confront their divergent dreams, the absurd expectations placed on mothers, and the terror and uncertainty that can surround pregnancy. Beth Hyland’s irreverent new comedy asks what happens when the life we have been told to want no longer fits the person we are becoming.
Baby Shower Katie is a co-world premiere with Primary Stages, New York City.
