Play

MOMologues

by Lisa Rafferty, Stefanie Cloutier and Sheila Eppolito

This original comedy about motherhood rips away the gauzy mask of parenthood to reveal what all mothers know but don't always talk about: it's overwhelming and exhausting, but also very, very funny.

From the joys of infertility, through reading the same books over and over and over, to finally seeing your baby get on that school bus, this play mines the laughs and tears of the early years of motherhood. Four separate characters tell their individual stories, either directly to the audience in monologues, or in scenes with each other. Mothers everywhere can relate to the labor stories, the frustration of a simple trip to the store, the quest to connect with other mothers, all of which causes them to plan moms' nights out and arrive in packs to laugh hysterically at this tribute to "the toughest job you'll ever love.

Margo Ramos Kendall directs the cast of MOMologues: Coleen Mary Downey as Maria, Beth Huffman as Ellen, Victoria Marcus as Stefanie, and Sandra Griffin as Char. Please join us after our May 3rd performance for a special opening night reception. Admission is $15 for adults or $12 for Seniors, Students and members of The Lakeshore Arts Alliance.
