Season 18 Opening Production
Last lists of my mad mother
in collaboration with the alzheimer's association of coachella valley
The story centers on Dot, a daughter who has put her own life on hold to care for her mother, Ma, whose memories are fading rapidly. Ma is a rigid, detail-oriented woman who cares about ribbons, bows, grammar rules, and strict schedules. Dot uses her sharp wit to navigate the confusion and disorientation of her mother’s mind.
While Dot and Ma struggle with Ma’s decline, Sis, their sister, offers advice from afar over the phone, trying to help but also feeling helpless. The play moves between moments of sharp humor and poignant realism, showing how the family retraces paths they’ve traveled many times, only to find themselves in a place of unexpected comfort.
