A Mother

A Mother is a groundbreaking theatrical event that not only pays homage to Brecht’s powerful, seldom-performed play, but also breathes new life into it through a contemporary lens. Part documentary, part autobiography, part disco, this production is an evocative and personal journey conceived by long-time collaborators Jessica Hecht and Neena Beber, directed by Maria Mileaf. Through a multilayered approach, combining heartfelt storytelling and a soaring blend of disco, gospel, reggae, and Jewish music, led by music director Mustapha Khan, the play creates a visceral experience of loss, resilience, and transformation. A Mother is set against the vibrant backdrop of 1970s/’80s Miami, and places Jess’s story of first love in the broader historical context of the race riots following Arthur Lee McDuffie’s murder by police officers.

Featuring Jessica Hecht, Delilah Napier, Zane Pais, Fergie Philippe, and Portia.
