One-Woman Show
Glowing: A Reproduction Production is “a love story born of blood, sweat and vomit”. And who’s going to argue with a review like that?!

A finalist for
Vancouver’s Funniest New Female Comedian and Vancouver’s Funniest Person with a Day Job, Mary-Jo’s small handful of years dabbling in stand-up comedy coupled with over 15 years as a professional writer lead her to write, produce, and perform in her debut one-woman show.
Glowing: A Reproduction Production, which chronicles her rocky road to motherhood, opened at the Vancouver Fringe Festival in 2013 – to nightly standing ovations – and went on to a successful run at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival in 2014. She is currently planning a summer 2019 tour on both coasts of Canada.

Winnipeg Free Press Interview
Hilarious, heartfelt, and ultimately uplifting…
An honest account of arriving at motherhood. I fell head over heels for the writer/performer.
(The audience) sprung to their feet as soon as the show finished. (It) is well written, emotional, authentic, delivered with expert timing and funny.
Funny, moving, and intimate, Mary-Jo’s storytelling is infused with warmth and wit. From adoption fails and fertility woes to morning sickness and hormonally charged revelations, Glowing is an artfully conceived comedic romp.
I absolutely adored it! She is warm, funny, and engaging. I actually did laugh and cry…
