Every woman who’s had a baby recognizes the moment when your first name changes to suddenly “Mommy”!

From hot dates to play dates, experience the rollicking rollercoaster of motherhood. Because no matter how you planned it... it always comes suddenly!
Starring Anne Marie Scheffler, (Second City, CTV/ The Comedy Network, SPANK!, Just For Laughs). Written by Anne Marie Scheffler with Rosie Shuster (co-founder of SNL) Suddenly Mommy is a laugh-out-loud night out for anyone who is a parent... or who has one!
“Anne Marie Scheffler didn’t think motherhood would be this hard. She thought she could be the sexy showbiz mom, with a baby in one arm, a movie script in the other. Her jarring realization otherwise makes for a humorous and entertaining show. Scheffler is a charismatic, sparkling performer.” - CBC Radio
“I was MOVED!! Like I laughed and I cried... you were completely admired and loved and honored. Your vulnerability was palpable. And such heart! It was very moving. THANK YOU for your incredibly inspiring work. And my girlfriend, who is not in the business, but is a mother of two boys, was floored. She completely related, and
laughed, and we had a blast together. Thanks.”- David Ludwig
“You were beyond amazing. Every single beat, every moment was captivating, funny, really profound. OMG.” - Joe Bodelai
Fri Sept 27 at 8pm & Sat Sept 28 at 8pm at the Candy Box, 70 Peter St.
