off the WALL Productions to Premiere MOTHER LODE

By:
off the WALL Productions begins the new year with an in-repertory production of the World Premiere of Mother Lode by Artistic Director Virginia Wall Gruenert (Shaken & Stirred, Without Ruth).

The often contentious relationships between mothers and daughters will no doubt keep therapists in business for years to come, but there is no denying the deep bond that exists between them. Mother Lode tells the story of Pittsburgh actor Linda Haston's mother, Ruth, a force of nature who leaves Jim Crow Alabama as a teen to work and raise her family in Pittsburgh's Hill District. This one-woman show deals with the end-of-life decisions that must be made by dutiful daughters, as well as the discord, conciliation, warfare, and ultimate acceptance between strong, independent women bound by love and family. Directed by Virginia Wall Gruenert and Spencer Whale.

Four performances only: Runs Jan 28-31, 2016. Encore performances to follow in June and August, 2016.

Written by Virginia Wall Gruenert
