This one-woman show celebrates the exhilaration of motherhood, balancing poetic passages with humorous detours into the modern realities of raising small children. Writer/performer April Wish moves forward and backward through time, exploring the pressures and the promises of parenthood. Unapologetically feminist and powerfully tender, “My Name Is Mommy” studies a matriarchal family’s traditions, exploring the connection between generations through Wish’s lens as both a mother and a daughter. The 75-minute long show follows her journey as she looks for the bits and pieces of herself she left behind when she stepped into her role as Mother – buried under mountains of toys and traditions. In this dynamic and often hilarious piece, April Wish has crafted a love letter to her daughter, Clementine, as well as to the little girl she used to be herself.
