According to Big Pond, actress Julia Roberts hopes to return to theatre. A mother of three children, she compared working in theatre to childbirth.

The actress told Vanity Fair,"It's like childbirth, you don't know until you've done it but you get a little bit away from it and you go, 'Of course I want to do that again'. You get sucked back into doing theatre because it's really thrilling and does challenge you as an actor in really unique ways. You know, I love the medium of film, I love that environment but it's just different."

She made her Broadway debut in 2006 in Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain opposite Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd.
