I’LL BE MOTHER
written by Liggera Edmonds-Allen
directed by Aurelia Clunie
A Mother and Daughter agree to a “simple” therapy exercise: they must switch roles and speak as the other.
I’ll Be Mother will have one presentation at Three Stories downtown. This reading is a part of the Center for New Work’s Impulse Festival, a brand new event featuring new works from CMU’s MFA in Dramatic Writing program alongside plays & musicals in development at Pittsburgh Public Theater and Pittsburgh CLO.
