Boulevard Theatre Closes Season With IT'S YOUR MOTHER!, Opens 3/30

Join the Boulevard Theatre for this Midwest premiere as Milwaukee's pioneer of alternative storefront theatre closes its 24th season with Patricia Durante & Betsy Tuxill's charming new play IT'S YOUR MOTHER! This delightful, touching script hilariously explores the "Mother Versus Daughter" dynamic.

IT'S YOUR MOTHER! is absolutely the best way to shake off the last dregs of Wisconsin winter and is guaranteed to put a spring in your step. This 80-minute romp takes a comedic look at the mother/child relationship and features actresses Marion Araujo, Leea Glasheen, Lisa Golda, Jan Gomper, Nicole Gorski, Christine Horgen, Melissa Keith, Jenny Kostreva, Rachel Lewandowski, SAndy Lewis, Shannon Nettesheim, Shemagne O'Keefe, Karen Suckow, Michael Tyburski, Barbara Weber, and Brooke Wegner.*

Through a series of scenes and monologues (a daughter returning home from college, planning a wedding, and how to raise children!), IT'S YOUR MOTHER! explores the tensions inherent in the
relationship between mothers and daughters. This exciting new play by the East Coast team of Durante & Tuxill is always honest, often hysterical and, at times, deeply touching.
The play is great fun for anyone who has, had, or is a mother. After selling out and being extended in its New York premiere at The Manhattan Repertory Theatre in July of 2009, the show will make
its Midwest premiere at the Boulevard Theatre. But the play has roots (just like your daughter's various hair colors!) in Milwaukee. Actress/playwright Patricia Durante lived in Milwaukee for several
years and performed with the Skylight Theatre, First Stage Theatre and previously with the Boulevard (the standing-room-only production of Claudia Shear's invigorating one-woman show BLOWN SIDEWAYS THROUGH LIFE!). Ms. Tuxill is an established and respected educator on the
East Coast.

Boulevard Artistic Director Mark Bucher directs this exciting new work which celebrates the female experience while championing artistic opportunities for female playwrights and actresses. Call 414.
