About
Girl at a Bar is a short-form scripted dramedy series created by actor/writer/producer Tracy Mulholland, inspired by her true story of going to bars alone once a week for a year in Los Angeles and her journey with Lyme disease.

Creator Statement
I wanted to use my story to create a series that raises awareness for Lyme disease in an entertaining and accessible way, giving voice to the millions of people suffering from Lyme, and other chronic and invisible illnesses that are rarely seen on screen. More people are getting diagnosed with Lyme, close to half a million each year in the US alone, due to the rise in tick populations and lack of prevention. About 2 million people in the US live with chronic Lyme. By having a person on screen who has suffered from Lyme navigating love, career, and family, I hope we will help those suffering feel seen, prevent others from contracting the disease, and create empathy for journeys we may not be aware of or understand. -Tracy
