B2C was formed in 2004 by theatre artists Lauren Brotman and Jack Grinhaus.
B2C aims to provoke and charge the soul by creating intense, highly theatrical, and visceral productions that explore dark themes, rich texts, and have a modern and social relevance to the world today. We are keenly interested in the beauty, boldness, and truth born from confronting the challenges that face the human spirit. We present familiar themes in unfamiliar ways through the art forms of theatre and film, striving for full theatrical and cinematic experiences. Since its inception, B2C has produced nearly a dozen productions, introducing audiences to new works, premieres of plays that include World Premieres (Isitwendam, Tabula Rasa, The Complex), the North American Premiere of debbie tucker green and her poetic masterpiece dirty butterfly, reimaginings of classics (Phaedra’s Lust, Saved, Shakespeare Unfolded, Hedda Noir). B2C has garnered strong critical and audience response, and has been nominated for numerous local and national awards. In development: The film Elle’s Valley and the plays She Carries Me Again , Painting the Streets and Wallflower.

She Carries Me Again
May 7–15, 2027 | Vertigo Studio Theatre
By Lauren Brotman | Directed Tara Beagan
Tickets Available Soon!
Two women. One complicated history. A chance to find their way back to each other.
She Carries Me Again is an explosive, poetic, and deeply human 80-minute drama about NINA
and JENNY, an estranged mother and daughter brought together by an over-extended health
care system.
As their mental and physical worlds collide, old wounds surface—and the possibility of healing
begins to emerge. Inspired by playwright Lauren Brotman’s own experiences with her mother
and breast cancer, the play is ultimately a hopeful story about family, freedom, and the
connections that carry us through.
Intimate, funny, intense, and full of heart, She Carries Me Again invites us to recognize
something of our own relationships in the stories of others.

Excited to finally share that my new play 🌸SHE CARRIES ME AGAIN🌸 will premiere with Handsome Alice Theatre in Calgary in May as part of their 2026/2027 season. This piece is a very personal one, inspired by my journey with breast cancer and my mother’s battle with mental illness, and is the heart and soul of the SHE CARRIES ME project. 👗🩷
