'Secrets of a Soccer Mom' Begins Off-Bway Feb.9; Ivey Directs

Secrets of a Soccer Mom, a new play by Kathleen Clark and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey, will begin previews on Saturday, February 9, 2008 at the Snapple Theater Center (50th Street at Broadway) and is set to open on Thursday, March 20, 2008.  The production stars Nancy Ringham, Deborah Sonnenberg and Caralyn Kozlowski.

"In the play, three women leave their traditional spot on the sidelines to play in the annual mother-son soccer game. This ordinary day becomes extraordinary as the competition ignites their fierce desire to recapture

their spirit, humor and passion," explain press notes, "Secrets of a Soccer Mom takes a look at a part of life that is rarely explored on stage. It speaks to everyone, no matter age or gender, in attempting to answer that age old question: how in the world did I wind up here?"

Secrets of a Soccer Mom debuted at Fleetwood Stage (then entitled Soccer Moms) in Westchester, NY.

The production will feature scenic design by Lex Liang, lighting design by Jeff Croiter, costume design by Elizabeth Flauto and sound design by Zach Williamson. Secrets of a Soccer Mom will be produced Off-Broadway by A-Frame Productions.
