MotherStruck! Producers Rosie O’Donnell, Robert Dragotta, and Culture Project have announced new dates for the one-woman show, written and performed by Staceyann Chin. Performances were initially scheduled to begin September 24 at Culture Project’s Lynn Redgrave Theater, but were delayed indefinitely due to a lack of resources. Performances will now begin Friday, December 4, in advance of a December 14 opening.
Directed by Cynthia Nixon, MotherStruck! follows Chin's journey to motherhood as a single woman, lesbian, and activist who does not have health insurance or a "serious, stable financial set up," but wants to have a child. Told through Chin's uniquely personal and poetic lens, the show explores how the process changed her life and how she makes peace with what she learns from this profound experience.
"I’m so excited about working with Culture Project on this play," says Chin. "Culture Project has always been a space that bellows aloud the stories of the marginalized and dispossessed. Today, Allan Buchman and his team remain committed to supporting the kind of silent voices that are missing from mainstream media and the kind of marginalized existence, which includes, but is not limited to that of a single black lesbian choosing to become a mother through artificial reproductive procedures."
