Expecting tickets
About Expecting
“Baby, we need to talk…”
Zoey and Ethan are deciding whether or not to have a baby. The rest of their lives are
figured out, but there’s nothing sexier than family planning, right? Meanwhile, Zoey’s
younger sister Trish already has her hands full with two kids - or three if you count
her new boyfriend Matt.
Amidst falling birthrates and the ever-present chaos of adulthood, two couples who
were once convinced they can ‘have it all’ find themselves asking what they truly
want… and if there’s ever an opportunity to reframe. Career ambitions, brunch plans,
and the fate of humanity hang in the balance – not to mention the daunting
considerations of legacy, parenting, and ‘expectations.’
Is it ever really the right time?
Directed by Andy Sandberg, Expecting is a new play by Scott Elmegreen & Drew
Fornarola that explores why couples are waiting longer to have kids… or debating
whether to have them at all.
The world premiere of Expecting is part of the Mainstage 26/27 season at Riverside Studios, from 30 January 2027 for a limited 8-week run. Additional productions and casting to be announced.
