Mother Play
Donderdag tot en met zaterdag om 20.00 uur en zondag om 14.00 uur
Uptown Players proudly presents the regional premiere of Mother Play, a deeply personal and hauntingly resonant new work by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Paula Vogel. Spanning from 1962 to today, this semi-autobiographical drama follows Phyllis Herman, a fiercely independent single mother, and her two children as they navigate five evictions, emotional upheaval, and the fragile balance between unconditional love and self-preservation.
Told with piercing honesty and sharp, dark humor, Mother Play explores identity, queerness, family dysfunction, and survival through a distinctly queer lens. As the children grow and forge their own paths—sometimes in defiance of their mother’s influence—the play reveals a vivid portrait of resilience, generational conflict, and the evolving landscape of American values.Hailed as “heartbreaking yet wickedly funny,” Mother Play is a bold and compassionate examination of motherhood and the lasting impact of the stories we inherit—and the ones we choose to rewrite. This gripping regional premiere is presented in partnership with Theatre Three and continues Uptown Players’ mission to spotlight powerful, inclusive voices onstage.
