MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD Sets Opening at Vagabond Players

The Vagabond Players continues its 101th season with Motherhood Out Loud, opening February 24, and continuing through March 19. Conceived by Susan R. Rose and Joan Stein, and directed by Rikki Howie Lacewell, the script is written by some of the best writers in theatre today: Leslie Ayvazian, Brooke Berman, David Cale, Jessica Goldberg, Beth Henley, Lameece Issaq, Claire LaZebnik, Lisa Loomer, Michele Lowe, Marco Pennette, Theresa Rebeck, LuAnne Rice, Annie Weisman, and Cheryl L. West.

When entrusting the subject of motherhood to such a dazzling collection of celebrated American writers, what results is a joyous, moving, hilarious, and altogether thrilling theatrical event. Utterly unpredictable, Motherhood Out Loud shatters traditional notions about parenthood, unveils its inherent comedy, and celebrates the deeply personal truths that span and unite generations. This is an adult production that contains strong language.

The talented cast hails from all corners of the Baltimore/Washington region. It features: Christine Alfano (Columbia), Shemika Berry (Waldorf), Temple Fortson (Germantown), Cheramie Jackson (Seabrook), Gareth Kelly (Catonsville) and Nikki Summons (Annandale, VA). Directed by popular director and performer Rikki Howie Lacewell (Gaithersburg), these seasoned actors glide through hilarious and poignant scenes that engage and enthrall audiences.
