Simply Theatre! Play Readings By The Armonk Players
Tonight: ‘night, Mother
by Marsha Norman
directed by Pia Haas
with Christine DiTota and Chris Jamison
Admission: Free (voluntary donations cheerfully accepted)

Nominated for four Tony Awards and winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, ‘night, Mother is an eloquent, enthralling and ultimately shattering play that explores the final hours in the life of a woman who has decided that life is no longer worth living.  How can Thelma convince her daughter that life is worth living if she can’t feel her pain?  With humor, wisdom and keen insight, ‘night, Mother celebrates the glory of the commonplace.  Two seemingly ordinary women, mother and daughter, come to grips with the value of their own lives, and express what many of us have felt at one time or another: why am I here?

Join us for a yummy reception after the play and the opportunity to voice your opinions about the play in a discussion with the actors and director.

No advance ticket sales for this performance.

We perform at Whippoorwill Hall (adjacent to the North Castle Public Library) at 19 Whippoorwill Road East, Armonk, NY 10504 (use the Kent Place entrance, please).  You can get travel directions here.
