A World Apart (2/4/2011)

As Susan Mosakowski’s A World Apart opens, Mother Augustina, an abbess in a Cistercian monastery, is deeply engrossed in reading a religious text.

Sex in Mommyville (8/19/2010)

While feminists of the seventies were quick to write off these roles as domestic slavery, some contemporary feminists have embraced these roles, finding that one can be an independent woman and still be a loving mother and wife.

This struggle is at the crux of The Flea Theater’s production of the one woman show, Sex in Mommyville.
