a.m.
Boston Theatre Marathon
Directed by Scott Fortier
What goes bump in the night? Mothers at 3 a.m. worrying about
global warming,
underwear bombers, and a child's fear of bowling parties. Gwen's
seven-year-old
daughter refuses to attend a birthday party in an attempt to
avoid the harm that
befalls children on the news. The mother-to-mother discussion
that ensues in the
middle of the night provides a glimpse of the frightened world
that lurks beneath
picket fences and soccer practice.

AracaWorks, NYC
Directed by Mark Brokaw
With Marin Ireland and Heidi Schreck
For Dirdra and Janice, mom's dead and it's a great day. There's
going to be a
celebration, and hopefully nothing will go flying out the window
– including one
of them. A viciously comic and tense 15-year reunion between two
sisters on the
day of their mother’s unforgettable death.
- Attention
Shoppers
Manhattan Repertory Theatre
Directed By Jamie Carrillo
While shopping for groceries in a military commissary, a young
woman whose
