As maddening as it is joyful, the subject of family is never devoid of great stories. When entrusting the subject to some of contemporary theater's most dynamic storytellers, what results is a tapestry of many colors. Utterly unpredictable, Motherhood Out Loud shatters traditional notions about parenthood, unveils its inherent comedy and celebrates the deeply personal truths that span generations.
Pulitzer Prize winner Beth Henley, Peabody Award winner Theresa Rebeck, Michele Lowe, David Cale, and other leading playwrights of our time breathe humor and honesty into every story, giving an illuminating voice to the adventure of raising a child.
