Chrissy Meth is a solo show written & performed by by Crystal Bush with direction & development by Jessica Lynn Johnson.  It centers around a motherless child “Crystal” who grows up in the western suburbs of Chicago, and not only has to face the racially oppressive construct of her world, she also finds herself stumbling from one abusive relationship to the next, pushing her into a deep drug addiction. Somehow, from the depths, of being lost forever, she finds hope and begins to put the pieces back together. Through the use of song, multimedia, humor and multiple characters, she explores, questions and challenges beliefs and social mores surrounding identity, and self esteem while showing that it’s never too late to comeback and find one’s self-worth.

PREMIERING SOON at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019!

In Fertile, we meet Jenny, a woman with a plan; a plan to get pregnant. Everyone keeps telling her that time is running out – she just turned 35, after all. So, when those urine tests keep coming back negative, Jenny decides to take action and fix the problem. That’s when she runs into real problems…and real questions about fertility and motherhood. As Jenny faces the world of “mom options” – egg freezing, in-vitro, adoption, and more – the conversation about the expectation of procreation really begins. In a sea of outside opinions from her friends, her doctors, a beloved neighbor, and even God, Jenny must ultimately look within to discover what motherhood means to her, what it means to be Fertile.

It was during the two-year run of UNEMPLOYED. FINALLY. on stages all over Los Angeles that her second show, FERTILE, started to percolate. One of the moments people responded to most from UNEMPLOYED. was Dowling’s personal story of challenges with fertility.
