Mom’s The Word: Talkin’ Turkey

It started as a lark, six new mothers got together every Saturday morning to write a show about motherhood. Thirty years on and over two million audience members later, the Moms are back to tackle the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas. As usual, nothing is sacred as the Moms tell their truth, the hilarious truth and nothing but the embarrassing truth. This show is for anyone who has had a tough time getting in the spirit of the season. The Moms see you.

Why I Chose This Play

When I was Artistic Director of the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario, I invited a show to come and play on that stage. It was called Mom’s the Word and little did I know, I was the first theatre outside of BC to extend an invitation to the Moms. I fell in love with the show—and with Jill, Alison, Robin, Barbara, and Deborah. They were not only hilarious—they were also heartwarming and heartbreaking. I loved them then—and I love them now—all these years later! Come and help us celebrate their 30th Anniversary of real stories, by and about real moms. —Michael Shamata
