Rising Action Theatre Presents MOTHER/SON, 6/10-6/27

Jeffrey Solomon's award-winning play Mother/Son was inspired by his Jewish mother's poignant, and often hilarious, journey out of the closet as the parent of a gay son. The story traces her evolution from grief stricken mother turning up at a support group for parents of gays, to marching with her son in a pride parade.

Critically acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, Emmy-nominated writer-performer Jeffrey Solomon plays both mother and son this award winning play.

The play was the hit of the Leeds International Performing Arts Festival, in London, at the Dublin Gay Theatre Festival and won the Audience Favorite and Best Male Solo Performer Awards at the Columbus National (U.S.) Theatre Festival.

Rising Action Theatre's Artistic Director David Goldyn says our mission statement is educating the public in diversity and tolerance through theatre. This show exemplifies our mission statement. Having lost my mother last year, this show is a tribute to mothers and sons everywhere.
