A LITTLE BIT PREGNANT Comes to New York Fringe

Paper Dog Press will present A Little Bit Pregnant written by Kate Lavut and directed by Rana Liu. The production will be presented as part of the 2024 New York City Fringe Festival with FRIGID New York at The Wild Project (195 E 3rd St, New York, NY 10009) with performances on Sun 4/14 at 3:10pm, Tue 4/16 at 6pm & Fri 4/19 at 6pm.

Sex, drugs, rock ‘n' roll… and a baby? A Little Bit Pregnant is a dramatic comedy with a feminist twist.

The cast will feature: Julia Pye, Joshua Bilbao, Aidan Cottreau, and Casey Marie Ecker.
