Mama Drama

This version follows five friends through five profound years of their lives. Morgan, an Irish Catholic divorced mother of three fights poverty and tries to live up to the memory of her own mother. Danny, a spirited optimist, faces infertility and health problems

Anna, a commanding and competent mother of two, is haunted by the child she gave up for adoption. Leah uses her droll sense of humor to fend off her overbearing mother and her anxieties about childbirth. Liz, a single woman with a acerbic wit chooses not to have children but ends up caring for her ailing mother

All five approach their dilemmas with great humor. This version of Mama Drama premiered at the Cleveland Playhouse in 1990 and played to packed houses
