This is an invitation into Bridget’s creative process. Her metaphysical, metaphorical womb. What started as an idea sparked by an evening on stage with night life Goddess Amanda Lepore, has turned into an art bun in the oven… and now it’s time to share. Join her as she openly crafts this heroine’s journey to find the lost divine feminine, armed with her toolbox of wigs, guitars, rhymes and melodies. She will present excerpts of songs, further hone characters, and play in this grand experiment called live art. Come along for the ride as she becomes whole again, and be a part of the show.
