[Capdist-announce] Mothers and Sons continues its regional premier at the Ghent Playhouse

[Linda Murawski]

Mothers and Sons, a timely and touching contemporary play about change,
reconciliation and becoming a family, runs through Sunday, April 2 with
performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2
p.m.
“Words are the bridge we build across the void that separates us.”
A Dallas matriarch pays an unexpected visit to her late son’s former
partner, who is now married to another man and raising a young son. Forced
to consider the life her son may have had, the woman must now come to terms
with her own life choices and how society has changed around her.
Wendy Power Spielmann of Kinderhook takes on the role of Katherine Gerard,
the 70 year old widow, who after twenty years, suddenly decides to pay a
visit to the Upper West Side apartment of her late son’s former partner,
Cal Porter. Paul Murphy of Troy portrays Cal in the production, with Dylan
Widjiono of Stockport as Will Ogden, Cal’s husband. Rounding out the cast
is newcomer, 9 year old Ely Loskowitz of Valatie, as the couple’s young
son, Bud.
Written by award-winning playwright of Love! Valor! Compassion!, Terrence
McNally, Mothers and Sons was a 2014 Tony Award Nominee for Best New Play.
The Ghent Playhouse production is directed by Cathy Lee-Visscher, who also
designing the set. Matt Sikora is the Stage Manager. Costume Design is by
Joann Maurer and Lighting Design by Isabelle Filkins.
