Big Feelings Baby is a one-hour solo (ish) storytelling show written and performed by Ash Allen about finding your inner howl and the courage to let it out. Set in the Mississippi woods, the story follows a barefoot tomboy whose first companions are squirrels and her loud, feral grandmother who lives up the road. Their bond runs deeper than language, rooted in love bigger than the sky, humor, and a refusal to be tamed.

​

That world is upended when she is sent away one summer and comes face to face with how different she is from other girls—and how those differences are things to hide and quiet. When she returns home, both her inner and outer worlds are irrevocably changed. Through love, life, and the loss of her beloved grandmother, she learns that big feelings must be released—one howl at a time. Only then can you find not just your pack, but yourself.
