LEMUR MOM Adds Six Week Run At Whitefire Theatre

Megan Dolan has the distinct feeling that she's not the right mom. As she navigates the treacherous world of support groups, child psychologists, and play-dates trying to help her son communicate, she makes countless wrong turns along the way.

This hilarious and hopeful solo show explores the power of resilience, kindness, and the value of showing up. Megan forges a path from believing she's the wrong mom to knowing she's the only mom for her unique and gifted son.

LEMUR MOM (because We Can't All Be Tiger Moms) has added four more performances at Whitefire Theatre (13500 Ventura Blvd.) in Sherman Oaks. Performances are Sundays @ 3PM March 31st; April 28th; May 5th; May 12th; May 19th; June 2nd. Tickets are $25 and available at: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3570240
