| THEATRE GUEST - (M)OTHER TOUR |
 Beth Osnes, writer and performer of (M)other brings her one woman show to CSU.
(M)other: A Performance Creating a Global Community of Mothers explores what it might take for the mothers of one country to authentically care about the mothers and children of another country. The show's opening describes a fictional program, called "Baby Swapping," created by the United Nations to generate concern for the world's children. In this small, limited pilot program, seven mothers from seven nations from around the world are required by their governments to swap their six-month-old babies with another mother from another nation for one month. What follows is an intimate look at one of these mother's experiences and her eventual realization of her interconnectedness with these other mothers, their children, and their nations. Read more.
When & Where
Friday, October 9, 8 p.m., University Theatre, UCA. The performance is FREE to anyone interested and does not require a ticket. General admission seating begins at 7:30 p.m.
