SHORT SYNOPSIS When 35-year-old Ruth ruins a baby shower with her juvenile antics, her old high school cronies- who are all mothers now-promptly de-friend her. But when she is later mistakenly thought to be ‘with child’ she is inexplicably welcomed back into the group. Although she initially tries to come clean, the many perks of pregnancy are far too seductive to ignore. Preggoland is a comedy about our societal obsession with babies and the lengths we’ll go to be part of a club. SYNOPSIS At 35, Ruth (Sonja Bennett) hasn’t changed much since high school. She’s still partying in parking lots, working as a cashier in a supermarket, and living in her father’s basement. When Ruth gets drunk at a friend’s baby shower and ruins it with her juvenile antics, her old high school cronies – who are now all married with children – suggest she might want to find some friends her own mental age. Ruth is devastated. Just when Ruth hits rock bottom, she runs into her friends who mistakenly think she’s pregnant.
