Not The Right Mom&nbsp;invites you into the wildly relatable, unexpectedly hilarious world of parenting a child with autism—where expectations crumble, snack time is a battlefield, and unconditional love leads the way. Through razor-sharp storytelling and a performance full of fire and grace, Megan explores the heartache and humor of feeling like the odd one out. But as she stumbles, questions, and redefines motherhood on her terms, she discovers a fierce kind of joy that only comes from letting go. This show is bold, brilliant, and beautifully human—offering more than just laughs; it gives permission to exhale.&nbsp;&nbsp; "This show has everything I love: humor, humanity and heart."--bestselling author Anne Lamott"It's good. She's good. Go."--Long Beach Post
Performances at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm
