There's no preparation for parenthood. It’s a learn-as-you-go crash course in which we can all enroll, but from which we never graduate; a never ending commitment to a high wire balancing act. Don't Make Me Pull This Show Over – Dispatches from the Frontlines of Parenting is a wholly original song cycle – a series of musical snapshots taken from unexpected angles, unanticipated reflections in a mirror that at times appear fractured in both hilarity and intensity. Whether we choose to be parents or not, we can’t choose not to have them, and to question the choices all parents are forced to make.
Running time: 75 minutes.
