Promo Video: THE MAMALOGUES by Lisa B. Thompson, Color Arc Productions,

(video promo from Color Arc Productions)

 

From the award-winning writer of Single Black Female, Underground, and Monroe comes a new play about the exhilaration and exhaustion that comes from being a black single mother in America: The Mamalogues. Lauren, Beverley and Tasha have great careers they love and amazing children they adore, but they don't "have it all." During a single mother’s retreat, they share their angst about racial profiling on the playground, their child being the “only one” at school, and the politics of soccer in the ‘hood. This satirical comedy reveals the lives of black mothers as they lean in, stress out, and guide their precocious black children from diapers to college in a dangerous world.

 Directed by Rudy Ramirez.

The Mamalogues is a project produced by Color Arc Productions and The VORTEX and is presented by the Museums and Cultural Programs Division of the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department. This project is supported in part by Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
