"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 cohezive... 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
