Hyde Park and Lafayette and Brian Liebman have announced that they are extending the performance schedule of the Off-Broadway show Mother Load.  The one-woman show, written and performed by Amy Wilson and directed by Julie Kramer, opened on Friday May 4 at 8 p.m. at Off-Broadway's Sage Theater (711 7th Avenue at 47th/48th St) and has continuously played to sold-out audiences.  The show will now close on June 22nd.

"In a world where a toddler's birthday party must be catered, a stroller costs eight hundred dollars, and nursery school applications require thoughtful essay writing, how can a mom keep her perspective? From prenatal yoga to preschool interviews, actress and writer Wilson struggles to throw off the 'Mother Load' of unrealistic expectations, ignore the competitive 'sanctimommies' lurking in every playgroup, and somehow find the time to enjoy her kids," as the show is described in press materials.

"Any parent who has fed their kids dinosaur chicken nuggets three times this week will identify with Amy's guilt, and fellow perfectionists will cheer as she frees herself from it. You'll love Mother Load whether you are a mother or just have one."

Tickets to Mother Load are $45 and are available online at www.ticketcentral.com or by calling 212-279-4200. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the Ticket Central Box Office, located at 416 W. 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues.

Mother Load runs now thru June 22, with performances Tuesday­Saturday at 8 p.m. and a "Moms Matinee" Wednesdays at 11 a.m. For more information on Mother Load-- photos, biographies, video and more-- please visit www.motherloadshow.com.
