On May 28 the talkback will focus on the AIDS Quilt with panelists Julie Rhoad (CEO of the Names Project/AIDS Quilt), Anne Balsamo (Names Project board member and dean of New School Media Studies), Lynn Sinelli (AIDS Quilt panel maker) and Jay Lesiger (owner of Chelsea Pines Inn and sponsor of the AIDS Quilt Display in the Golden lobby).
As previously announced, portions of The AIDS Memorial Quilt are on display in the lower lobby of the Golden Theatre, where the new play is housed, through the entirety of the show's run.
Mothers and Sons marks McNally's 20th Broadway show and is directed by Tony nominee Sheryl Kaller (Next Fall). Preview performances began Feb. 23, prior to a March 24 opening night.
Tony and Emmy Award winner Tyne Daly stars alongside Obie and Drama Desk Award winner Frederick Weller, Tony Award nominee Bobby Steggert and Grayson Taylor.
Mothers and Sons, according to press notes, "is a timely and provocative new play that explores our evolving understanding of family in today's world. At turns funny and powerful, Mothers and Sons follows a woman (Daly) who pays an unexpected visit to the New York apartment of her late son's ex-partner (Weller), who is now married to another man (Steggert) and has a young son. Challenged to face how society has changed around her, generations collide as she revisits the past and discovers a new connection she never expected." Visit MothersAndSonsBroadway.com.
