Girl at a Bar is a short-form scripted dramedy series created by 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.

I wanted to use my story to create a series that raises awareness for Lyme disease in a unique, entertaining, and accessible way, giving voice to the millions of people suffering from Lyme, as well as those who suffer from the myriad other chronic and invisible illnesses that are rarely seen on screen.
More and more people are getting diagnosed with Lyme disease, close to half a million each year in the US alone, due to the rise in tick populations and lack of prevention. Approximately 2 million people in the US now live with chronic Lyme. Treatment and the reality of the condition continues to be difficult to understand and relay. My hope is by having a person on screen who has suffered from Lyme and showing them navigate life, love, career, and family with humor and humanity, we will raise awareness to help those suffering feel seen, prevent others from contracting the disease, and create empathy for journeys we may not be aware of or understand.
