  • Everybody's Favorite Mothers (Sept 3-20)

    Phoenix Theatre presents Everybody’s Favorite Mothers by James Still

    When her son Morty was beaten and hospitalized for being a gay activist, Jeanne Manford just did what made sense; she supported her son. By simply picking up a sign and walking alongside Morty, Jeanne unwittingly started a movement, better known today as PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). This World Premiere play by national and local favorite James Still is a love story disguised as a protest. Directed by Zack Neiditch.
