Bellyful is one of those performances that stays with you long after you leave the theater. Vivia E. Armstrong takes us on a deeply personal journey, but somehow makes it feel universal. Through humor, vulnerability, music (playing Mary J.

Bellyful was a great show and I really enjoyed it. It was emotional, educational, empowering, and funny all at the same time.
