Shohreh Aghdashloo, Frances Fisher, Melina Kanakaredes, Elizabeth Peña, Mimi Rogers, Jean Smart and Cindy Williams will participate in a staged reading of My Child – Mothers of War, at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, on Saturday, September 10 at 8pm, and Sunday, September 11 at 7pm.

Written and directed by Angeliki Giannakopoulos, based on her award-winning documentary of the same name, the reading is co-produced by Katselas Theatre Company in association with Human Revolution Entertainment. The piece is comprised of monologues based on intimate accounts from mothers whose sons have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each woman’s story represents very different opinions about war, politics, social and cultural issues

The staged reading is timed to coincide with the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, and will benefit the Fisher House – a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in their time of need.
