MINNESOTA JEWISH THEATRE COMPANY CONTINUES 17th SEASON WITH A NEW MUSICAL COMEDY

Claire is a 37-year old divorced mother from Nebraska who has moved to Canada for a university teaching position. Her son, David, soon joins her, and as she discovers a new life as a single mom, lesbian, and Jewish woman, David's journey takes him through his teen years into adulthood. This true story embraces the realities of today's world, and takes a timely look at equality, same sex marriage, and the changing American family.

My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding is directed by Michael Kissin. Michael has been working in the Twin Cities for over 20 years as a director, actor, writer, and college educator. He directed Goats and Talley's Folly at MJTC, and was seen at MJTC as Larry Levin in Boychik. Mike is a long-time member of Mixed Blood Theatre where he directed How to Improve Your Golf Game and A Jew on Ethiopia Street, amongst others . Other directing credits include Park Square Theatre, Theatre in the Round, Theatre L'Homme Dieu, and Minneapolis Community & Technical College.
