MOTHER (and me) -&nbsp;TO THE POWER OF ONE- PLAY SERIESWritten &amp;&nbsp;Performed by Broadway Veteran - Melinda Buckley


A daughter's story of love, loss, and goulash

Her mother is a Hungarian force of nature — all Zsa-Zsa, grand opinions, and showbiz dreams. And she's slowly waltzing into dementia. Which means her Broadway-baby, Melinda must step up, step in, and finally figure out who she is without the woman who always ran the show.

Buckley's award-winning one-woman show is outrageous, tender, and completely unforgettable.

After the performance we'll have a talkback with Carolyn DeRocco, Vice President of Programs and Education for the Alzheimer's Association Connecticut Chapter. We'll talk about issues the play raises--caregiving, what families face, and the resources available to them. Bring your questions and your stories. We’ll laugh more than you think.
