Mom Before Dad: A Young Woman of the Greatest Generation
November 10 @ 2:00 pm - 3:15 pm
$25
Cabaret artist Sarah Boone returns to the Triad with an encore performance of Mom Before Dad: A Young Woman of the Greatest Generation in a special one-show-only engagement that follows celebrated performances in Florida, Los Angeles and Colorado.
Between the pages of a faded handwritten journal, Sarah learned of the joys, heartbreaks, passions and the everyday perseverance of someone she knew…but long before she knew her. Her Mom!
Now, travel back with Sarah in this memory-filled musical show that hails and regales the Greatest Generation…as told through diary entries, letters and moments of her favorite greatest-generation heroine. In this touching afternoon of song and inspiring word, this daughter’s love letter to her remarkable mother captures the era when ordinary people achieved the extraordinary…believed in the right thing to do…and exchanged “goodbyes” with “We’ll Meet Again”…
Sarah will share the stage with Musical Director Eugene Gwozdz, barbershop quartet The Brooklynaires, and the Mom Before Dad Band.
The show is directed by Jean Tait, with orchestrations by Eugene Gwozdz, script and multimedia concept by Sarah Boone, multimedia design by Rich Conner.
