No matter who you are or what you’ve experienced, Mother Lear will speak to you. Audiences of all ages and backgrounds have had profound experiences with the piece. Here’s a small sample of what folks had to say about the work.
Don’t miss the Mother Lear film, this Saturday 3/2.
“one of the best Lear adaptations ever”- Phillipa Kelly, Dramaturg
“One of the most impactful performances I’ve seen in my life.” - Audience Member
“As a hospital chaplain with advanced training in palliative care and grief work, I wish I could make Mother Lear required in medical centers, retirement communities and progressive art venues nationwide.” - Pegi Walker, UCSF Chaplain
“Eloquent, stirring, and darkly funny.” - Audience Member
“Stunning. Heartbreaking. Funny at times. Incredibly smart and clever. And a true gift.” - Kelly Hudson, Managing Director of Montalvo Arts Center

Sometimes it's the silliest stories,
the maddest moments,
the most whimsical wisdom
that helps us to feel seen, and heard, and loved.
Sometimes, it's the most absurd adventures
the most joyous journeys,
the most fantastic flights of fancy
that teach us who we are.
Sometimes, it's the most playful people
the most fabulous friends
and the company that we keep
that reminds us where we belong.
Thank you for supporting our work!

In this, our 23rd season, we brought you wonder and whimsy with our Adventures with Alice as well as a return visit from our hero, Caretta Caretta, of The Keeper. We brought you music galore! Two newly-released albums: Twelfth Night and The Odyssey and a live concert of the music from Macbeth. We expanded our presenting partnerships with our debut at Cal Shakes and our return to Montalvo Arts Center.
If something we did this year brought you joy or wonder, if a line or a visual stuck with you, if we made you feel something surprising or sweet - please give what you can today. We're remarkably resourceful, so even a little means a lot!
Deep thanks for your support, we are so grateful.
