Top of PageMy Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding
Synopsis:
This show is part of the New York Musical theatre Festival. What do you get when a straight white male from Canada discovers that his mother's a lesbian? a hilarious and heartfelt story that celebrates love in all its forms! the hit of the 2009 Toronto Fringe, My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wedding is based on a true story that will make you laugh, cry, and realize that nothing's impossible. David Hein wrote the title song as a gift to his mother about her real life wedding. Convinced the story of his mother's journey would make a good theatrical work, David and his wife, Irene Sankoff, stitched together the stories that everyone asks them to tell: what life is like with two moms, including the seven parents at their wedding; the "facts of life" talk that Irene received from her in-laws; and how David's mom first came out to him.
