QUESTIONS MY MOTHER CAN’T ANSWER To Premiere At FringeNYC 8/15-27

Questions My Mother Can't Answer, a moving and funny one woman show written by and starring Andrea Caban (a recipient of the 2008 NY Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Solo Performance), will be part of the 14th annual NY International Fringe Festival this August, running from August 15th-27th at the New York Theatre Workshop's 4th Street Theatre, presented at FringeNYC by Coyote REP Theatre Company.

Directed by Rachel Eckerling, co-director of this past season's acclaimed The Diary of a Teenage Girl at 3LD Arts & Technology Center (and frequent collaborator of Francis Ford Coppola on both theatre and film projects), the creative team for Questions My Mother Can't Answer will also include Grammy Award-winning sound designer Marcelo Añez and lighting designer Jason Teague.

In Questions My Mother Can't Answer, Andrea's on a mission: she interviews eight "women-of-a-certain-age," including a sexy Moroccan ballroom dancer, a donations-only prostitute, and her Aunt Shirley, about getting pregnant, staying married, and finding a flow. As she embarks on a healing journey after a personal tragic event, Andrea looks for guidance from a variety of female role models, only to find that there are no role models...that we are all flawed and life isn't about avoiding accidents, or tragedy, but how we deal with it.

Questions My Mother Can't Answer will run at the New York Theatre Workshop's 4th Street Theatre (83 East 4th Street between 2nd and Bowery), with performances on Sunday, 8/15 at 10:15pm, Sunday 8/22 at 1:45pm, Tuesday, 8/24 at 2pm, Thursday, 8/26 at 6:45pm, and Friday, 8/27 at 9:15pm. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at www.FringeNYC.org or by phone at 866.468.7619 beginning July 23rd.
