Description A one-man tour-de-force performed by Todd MacDonald, The Button Event is a startling mix of physical performance, true story and a few hundred tennis balls that catapults us through a new father’s world – coping with sleep deprivation, seizures, twins, medication, MRIs and EEGs, trampolines and home renovations.

Absurd and painfully funny The Button Event ricochets between medical minefields, defining faith and family counselling.
