BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN BARONESS at Dixon Place

Stella Starsky shines in her moving and side-splitting solo play that explores both the mundane and the mystical implications of modern womandom free from motherhood, whether by choice or cast of the die. From her humble beginnings as a tweenage donut-maker in smalltown Massachusetts, through a me-generational guantlet of discoballs, body dysmorphia, designer dreams, and debatable dates with destiny, Starsky illumines our universal quest for value and validation, alighting on divinely human and hilarious realizations along the pro-creative path toward planetary parenthood.
