Rod Peter Jr. and his wife have been trying for three years with no luck. Enter the bizarre and emotional world of fertility clinics, dealing with medical professionals, sperm tests, ultrasounds, and the struggle to get help.
This raw and emotional solo show was created to start the conversation about infertility.
What happens when one partner is told they are fine and one is told they may never be a parent?
How does one ( as well as a couple ) navigate this?
What kind of father would Rod be?
Connecting his journey with his own fathers, Rod weaves a tale that explores the issues within the medical system but also of his own fathers choices to break free of past abuse from his father.
Rod pours everything out. What he shares is so personal and real you feel like he’s made you into a close friend … When I say I cried – twice – and that this is one of the best one-hour shows I have ever seen there is no hyperbole.
