'night, Mother by Marsha Norman
September 20, 21, 26 - 28 @ 8 PM
​Sunday, September 22 @ 2 PM

 A simple night like any other for a mother and daughter turns into an evening of despair, ​
​truths and a moment that no one ​wants to experience.

Marsha Norman’s ‘night, Mother is a Pulitzer prize winning portrayal of one
woman’s decision to end her own life, and her mother’s desperate
attempts to change her mind. It is deeply personal and tragically
honest in its examination of this all too common human experience.

The M. T. Pockets' production features performances by
​Kaici Lore and Cynthia Ulrich.
