MOM*

*a one-woman circus show about motherhood

Is anyone satisfied with their mother? What does it mean to be a (step)mother? Should I (or you?) have a baby?!

MOM* shines a light on the secret inner thoughts that we have as potential mothers, stepmothers, bio-moms, and as children of mothers. What did we expect things to feel like, and how do they actually feel?

Join Shir in this absurdist take on motherhood, as only she can tell it – spilling her truth as stepmom, potential bio-mom, and daughter. She’ll dig into her teenage journals, fantastical realms of aerial rope and tightwire, and confront her own assumptions of what it means to be a ‘good mother’. (All with a comedic twist, of course!)
