- **Event Name**: Motherhood, the Musical by Sue Fabisch
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Having a baby is just the beginning…motherhood is for life. In the original musical by Sue Fabisch, “Motherhood The Musical,” four women share their insights, challenges and pleasures at a baby shower. In 90 minutes of fun, you’ll get a peek into the powerful friendship of Amy, a soon-to-be first-time mom; Brooke, a hard-working lawyer and mother; Barb, a stressed-out stay-at-home mother of five; and Tina, a single mom seeking to balance work, her family and her divorce. “Motherhood, the Musical,” is a funny, yet loving look at being a mom at any age.
 
But this won't just be a standard theater show weekend! Just like with all of Ghostlight's theatrical events, there will be interactive community components. We are thrilled to partner with Cincinnati Chamber of Mothers, Cincy Postpartum, and other local nonprofits to bring free resources for community members all weekend long: from postpartum support, how to plan/prevent pregnancy, reproductive health information and more! Additionally we are hosting workshops leading up to the show weekend where parents can come with their little ones for artistic adventures.
