Unpacking Mother comes to Market House Theatre beginning this week. This is the AACT NewPlayFest Winner World Premiere by Karen Schaeffer. Performances run Feb. 10 - 13 & 17 - 20, 2022.

Sisters, Cassie and Kathryn, have had little communication since Kathryn left for college. Upon their mother's death, Kathryn, long absent, returns home to help Cassie, the primary caregiver, sort through their mother's hoarded possessions. As they unpack boxes, they encounter their younger selves and unearth truths about their mother's illness and father's secrets. Unpacking allows each sister to exorcise the demons that shaped their adult lives so they can meet on the other side, open to a new relationship.
