In this thesis I will be discussing my process in preparing and performing my thesis role of Hedda Gabler, and how it is relevant to modern struggles of women surrounding pregnancy, motherhood, and body autonomy. This is paralleled with the topic of my one-person show, titled 6 Weeks. I will include the events of both plays, the script of 6 Weeks, my character analysis of Hedda, the rehearsal process, production photos, resume, headshot, program, and a link to my website
