CANCELED: Expecting Isabel
Kathie Rasmussen Women's Theatre
Bartell Theatre 113 E. Mifflin St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
The Kathie Rasmussen Women's Theatre presents Lisa Loomer's play about the frustrating and baffling path some couples take on their way to becoming parents. Miranda and Nick, a New York City couple, navigate societal expectations, a battery of infertility treatments, the obstacle course of adoption, and the emotional minefield of their own relatives on their way to defining what their family will look like. Along the way they often question God and their own sanity.
A message from the Bartell: We regret that all remaining performances of Expecting Isabel have been cancelled.

The Kathie Rasmussen Women’s Theatre (Krass) regrets that because of safety considerations for the audience, actors, and crew due to COVID-19, the company has decided not to finish the run of Expecting Isabel.
When Nick first suggests having a baby, Miranda finds every excuse to oppose him, but after the New York couple tries and fails to conceive, both grow consumed with the idea of starting a family. A tour through the fertility trade, the adoption industry, and their own families uncovers the emotional roller coaster that can come with trying to make a miracle.
Lisa Loomer, who co-wrote the screenplay for Girl, Interrupted, brings us a heart-wrenching comedy about trying to have a baby – by any means necessary.
