A Little Bit Pregnant

In a climate where reproductive rights are in question and people’s bodies are policed, A Little Bit Pregnant gives space for these conversations.

A Little Bit Pregnant

Director

“You can’t be a little bit pregnant…right? […] but as her story unfolds we learn that things aren’t always as they seem. A Little Bit Pregnant, written by Kate Lavut and directed by Rana Liu, is a touching drama about four friends trying to face their very grown-up realities.”

PRODUCTION

Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll.... and a baby?

With punchy dialogue, strong actors, and characters that feel like they could be your next-door neighbours, this dramatic comedy gives audiences an intimate look at the highs and lows of four young people trying to adult.

— Produced by Paper Dog Press

A Little Bit Pregnant is a labour of love. In a climate where reproductive rights are in question and people’s bodies are policed, A Little Bit Pregnant gives space for these conversations. 

The show premiered with a sold out opening night at the Montreal St-Ambroise Fringe Festival in June 2022.

The show was invited to perform at the 2023 Toronto Fringe Festival.

Playbill

Thank you to my incredible cast and crew, you are powerhouses and made this show come to life. It’s been an immense joy directing this show and seeing it grow over the last two years.

Thank you to the Montreal and Toronto theatre communities for being so warm and receptive of our show. To our friends and family for always supporting us in our dreams. And special thank you to everyone who opened their homes for us traveling artists.

And most importantly, thank you Kate Lavut for being my ride or die creative partner (shoutout Bunz Montreal!). You rock.

“This story about pregnancy struggles of many kinds makes the strong choice to embrace comedy even amidst difficult subject matter. There’s great humanity in that decision and the vast array of perspectives and conflicting feelings on display is even more human.” — My Entertainment World
