off the WALL productions to Remount MOTHER LODE

By:

After staging the in-repertory production of the World Premiere of Mother Lode by Artistic Director Virginia Wall Gruenert (Shaken & Stirred, Without Ruth) in January of 2016, off the WALL productions now is presenting the second run.

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.

Three performances only: June 3, 4 & 5., 2016. Encore performances to follow in August, 2016.

Written by Virginia Wall Gruenert

Directed by Virginia Wall Gruenert and Spencer Whale

Starring Linda Haston

Performance dates: June 3 & 4 @ 8:00 PM. Matinee: June 5 @ 3pm

Tickets: $ 5.00 - $ 40.00
