Caroline Cooney and Michael De Nola will star in the world premiere of Sweet, Sweet Motherhood, by Jeremy Kareken, in collaboration with Professor Lee M. Silver. Michael Bigelow Dixon will direct the production at HERE Arts Center, July 8-31, with an opening on July 11.

In the play, bitingly intelligent undergraduate student Shelley McCann (Cooney) stumbles into the office of Professor Henry Stein (De Nola) to propose a senior thesis. No ordinary research proposal, Shelley’s ideas lay bare the ethical and moral quandaries associated with biotechnology today.

The creative team will include Ray Neufeld (set), Kari Love (costumes), Christopher Brown (lighting), Bruce Ellman (sound), and Zoe Woodworth (visual design).
