Life as a Pomegranate is the cathartic story we all want to experience: a woman jammed between children, aging parents and making her own dreams happen does something drastic to change things up.

Wightman’s energetic plays use dance, song, and multiple characters (Wightman plays nine characters) to tell fast, feel -good stories with a fiercely sharp edge.
