Wake Up, Mama - A Pregnant Pause is the continuing journey of Maggie Sabey, mother of two with one on the way. Given her newly found 'mindfulness' in motherhood, Maggie is determined to keep everything in perfect balance for those around her and for herself during her pregnancy. The comedy and drama ensue as the responsibilities mount. Whether it's her volunteer commitments at school, her sisters wedding, her husband and his Fantasy Home Brew Beer League, or her ever increasing maternal discomfort, it all comes to a head despite her best efforts to 'keep calm'. Come be a part of this multi-layered, funny, and truthful piece of theater as Maggie continues on her mission to find out who she is and what she is meant to do with this life.

Wake Up, Mama-Part I premiered in October, 2015 to sold out audiences in Houston, Texas. Since then, the journey has continued and so has the story.
