This ensemble comedy is sure to entertain anyone who's ever been a mother -- or had one!

This tapestry of songs, skits, quotations and reading stakes a funny and tender look at such topics as mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, exasperating mothers, endearing mothers, mothers of presidents, grandmothers, single motherhood and adoption.

Exploring the views of everyone from Abraham Lincoln to Erma Bombeck. The songs are a delight and cover the gamut of the motherhood experience from "Scream of the Night," to "The Postpartum Blues."

Written by this duo of mothers, the show is intended as a tribute to their mothers and an embarrassment to their children.

REVIEWS:

"There is never a wasted word, yet the images tug at the emotional umbilical cords of each audience member. Tracey's melodies and lyrics cause everyone to leave humming."
