“Packed with wisdom, laughter, and plenty of wry surprises.” —TheaterMania.

“Funny, unexpectedly poignant and sweetly entertaining. Brings tears of joy…An evening filled with wit, humor, pathos and enlightenment. Heartfelt and true to life.” —Examiner.

“MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD…never fails to strike both the funny bone and the heart. Anyone who is or has a mother, a stepmother, a foster mother, or anything in between will be able to relate to and enjoy this insightful piece…the collection is impeccably cohesive…What makes the piece work so well is that its portrait of motherhood shows all facets of a family. From adoption to surrogacy to gay parenting to stepmothers, no stone is left unturned…Put aside any preconceived notions about the topic…the play will grab you, as a mother in any form has a long-lasting effect whether you like it or not.” —Backstage.

Tickets $25/Senior (65+) $15

WARNING: The play includes monologues that reference:

• Miscarriage
• Postpartum struggles
• Raising a child with behavioral or developmental challenges
• Teen sexuality
• Divorce and co‑parenting
• Fear and anxiety around children’s safety

An exuberant celebration of colors through popular children’s literature.  Colors are everywhere – our clothes, our homes and classrooms, the natural world, our hair and eyes, and even our moods and feelings.  We’ll explore these multiple dimensions through books and poems by Seuss, Silverstein, Ehlert, Prelutsky, and Carle, with song, puppetry, props, visuals, audience participation, and volunteer opportunities – all with flying colors!
