SigWorks: Mother Mary
December 2 at 7PM
The Mead Lobby
In 1968, lesbian Puerto Rican taxi driver Jo Cruz knows the streets of Boston like the back of her hand, but no road map can prepare her for meeting Mary O'Sullivan, an Irish Catholic school teacher with a boyfriend. Despite rising tensions between their communities, Mary and Jo start connecting over daily rides to work and sparks fly. But their friendship takes a turn when Mary discovers she is pregnant and the two embark on a risky road trip to obtain an abortion in this romcom about choice and the women who choose.
Mother Mary is presented as part of SigWorks: Monday Night New Play Readings, an initiative that highlights and supports the work of DMV and regional playwrights.
