My Mother’s Story
Sunday, May 11th, 2 pm & 7:30 pm, UNITY of Vancouver, 5840 Oak Street
20 local women actors create this annual play, which combines their mothers’ stories into a moving show that prompts recollections on family, society and the history of women. It sells out super fast (like weeks in advance!) so we wanted to let you know about it now. And the my mother’s story movement has grown to include a book, workshops, forums, and the ultimate challenge, which gives you a chance to share your mother’s story: mymothersstory.org
