Taking the stage by storm, Cicely Tyson has received every major theatre award of the season for her performance as Mother Carrie Watts, a role that rivals any iconic character she has ever performed. MISS TYSON's Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, and Outer Critics Circle Award - winning performance is one not to be missed.
