FERTILE.

The cast of characters that came out of one person was charming, lovely, astounding and a privilege to watch!! The story was moving, funny, warm-hearted, and all around perfect!... full review

Heather captured the full range of emotions in her performance with impressive mid-scene switches that show off her acting prowess. Kudos! ... full review

I was very impressed with this show. The characters she played were honest and not caricatures. The different points of view painted an accurate picture of the expectations society and even friends and family place on women (and men) of what they believe is the "right path" for parenthood. ... full review

Poignant and powerful, Fertile humanizes and puts into perspective the kind of conversations lots of millennials and Gen-Zers are having with their families and friends now when it comes to starting families of their own: that it just isn't as easy as it once was. Myriad reasons affect people of all types and Heather's terrific performance of all the characters she's created tugs on your heartstrings one moment with its realness, and then makes you laugh the next when you realize how absurd some of these conversations can get. Easily the best one-person show I've seen.... full review

FERTILE is a study in how to do character work in a solo show right. Not only is the structure of the show tight and moves flawlessly, but Heather Dowling creates scenes between two (or three) distinct people and takes her time shifting from one to the next as they communicate. Her timing is perfect and her characters are always honest and never rushed. The show is a terrific blend of comedy, tragedy, drama, and inspiration and Heather is a tremendous performer. Can't wait to see her next project!... full review

Heather is a talented and versatile actress. Her portrayals of the different characters were hilarious and well done. ... full review

Ms. Downing has a genuine talent for bringing characters to life in this solo show. Her energy, physicality and center shifts to embody a variety of characters, from the slightly [maybe completely] mysoginistic doctors her character Jenny and husband Matt encounter on their quest to get pregnant to the delightful older woman next door to the new age acupuncturist who promises to access angel babies - the show seems to cover it all.... full review

A poignant journey navigating the many ups and downs of wanting to be a parent in today’s world. ... full review
