Performances will run November 8th-10th. Doors will open at 7:30pm, performances will begin at 8pm.

CLAY MOMMY is a play about motherhood, chosen family, and delusional women. The story follows Violet, a young trans woman who quits sex work and moves home to live with her estranged Orthodox Jewish mother. Her mother is desperate to connect with her but cannot curb her transphobia. After Violet runs into a family friend who is beginning to transition she convinces them to become her daughter. Unsure how to be a mother when her own life is in shambles, Violet turns the sculpture of her grandmother into a golem. The golem is in horrible agony and begs to be destroyed but Violet commands it to help her learn how to be a mother.
