In that show, she brought 39 characters to life and made it all the way to 42nd Street, NYC for United Solo - the largest solo theatre festival in the world. Both shows were staged for more than 2 years and garnered many more awards and nominations

During the 2-year run of UNEMPLOYED. FINALLY. the story for FERTILE started percolating. The moment people responded to most from UNEMPLOYED. was Dowling's personal story of challenges with infertility. Driven by the heartfelt response, she decided to share her story more completely and interviewed dozens of women and men to discover, uncover and encourage a conversation about procreation as an empowered choice.
