FREUD'S LAST SESSION, New York's smash hit play by Mark St. Germain, invited audience members to have their moms photographed on Dr. Freud's iconic couch after Sunday's Mother's Day matinee, May 13th. The cast happily posed for photos with mothers from all over the country on stage for nearly an hour! Check out the photos below.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION, starring Mark H. Dold and Martin Rayner as C. S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud respectively,is the winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play. Additional productions are set to open into 2013 in major markets across the nation and around the world.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION is currently in its second smash year and there have been a large number of celebrity attendees at Off-Broadway's runaway hit play, including such luminaries as Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, Kenneth Branagh, Richard Gere, John Cleese, Frank Oz, Marcia Gay Harden, Peter Bogdanovich, T.R. Knight, Patricia Heaton, Jerry Stiller, Christiane Amanpour, Neil Simon, Andy Rooney, Olympia Dukakis, Dick Cavett, Victoria Jackson, Scott Adsit, Dan Lauria, Cornel West, Roger Goodell, Peter Shaffer, John Kander, Celeste Holm, Dr. Ruth (6 times!), Tina Louise, Louis Zorich, and Warner Wolf.

Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the young, rising academic star C. S. Lewis to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life – only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Not just a powerful debate, this is a profound and deeply touching play about two men who boldly addressed the greatest questions of all time. Mark St. Germain's celebrated new play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of God by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.
