After a powerful run on the West Coast, Leigh Curran brings her award-winning one-woman show to New York. 'Why Water Falls' concerns a fiction writer who has to write a true story and, in the struggle, is brought face to face with her ambivalence about motherhood and the unexpected consequences she's tries to forget... but her 'children' won't let her do so. A smart, funny, thought provoking evening of true fiction that looks at making peace with controversial life choices in a whole new way. Written and performed by Leigh Curran and directed by Mary Pat Gleason.
