MotherStruck Duo Cynthia Nixon and Staceyann Chin Meet the Press

Tony and Emmy winner Cynthia Nixon is set to direct the world premiere of MotherStruck, a new play written and performed by Staceyann Chin at Culture Project's Lynn Redgrave Theater. Opening night is set for October 7, with previews beginning September 24.

At a meet-and-greet this morning, the duo introduced the show to the press. 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, this solo show explores how the process changed her life and how she makes peace with what she learns from this profound experience.

Culture Project produces the run alongside Emmy winner Rosie O'Donnell.
