25 Questions for a Jewish Mother star Judy Gold

Written by Kate Moira Ryan with Gold, and again directed by Karen Kohlhaas, who staged the New York production, 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother is a 70-minute comic monologue based on over 50 interviews with Jewish mothers of varying ages, ethnicities and occupations. "The result is a humorous and often poignant look at the mother-daughter bond, Jewish identity and the complicated and fulfilling nature of motherhood," according to PTC.
