From Off-Broadway to Rising Action Theatre: Jeffrey Solomon Returns with 'MOTHER/SON', 06/10-06/27

By:

Jeffrey Solomon's semi-autobiographical award winning show 'Mother/Son' comes to Rising Action Theatre with the original cast member, Jeffrey Solomon.

No one comes out alone. Mother/Son is Jeffrey Solomon's semi-autobiographical oneman play inspired by his relationship with his mother, whose struggle towards understanding and accepting her gay son - from first terrified visit to a support group for parents of gay children to marching with him in a pride parade - forms the basis of this poignant and hilarious play.

The production was a critical hit in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and in London's Off-West End and features Solomon as both mother and son in a performance Gaydar Nation calls, "Amazing, riveting and moving!"

Jeffrey Solomon's performance was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award Citation for Best Actor. Solomon has also performed the play in India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.

The show runs from June 10-27, 2010. For tickets and more information, please visit risingactiontheatre.tix.com or call 1 800 595-4849. Rising Action Theatre is located at 840 E. Oakland Park Blvd, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
