Based on the laugh-out-loud book by Diane Flacks, this wickedly funny stage production is a straight-up, rollicking account of Flacks’
reluctant flight into the secret and insane world of motherhood.

Bear With Me is by women, for women – though the fellas will be in
stitches, too. Conceived for all those veteran moms and moms-to-be,
this raucous celebration is for every woman who, at one time in her
life after giving birth, will utter the crowning words, "Did I poo?"

In this 85 minute show, Flacks’ dishes her own experiences – including coping with ballooning sci-fi bodies, the dominant JMG (technical term: Jewish Mother Gene), rampant libido-suppressing hormones, Mama-brain, a vegetarian’s craving for liver (served rare) and, of course, the REAL “Ring of Fire”!
