The world premiere production of "SWEET, SWEET MOTHERHOOD," by Jeremy Kareken, in collaboration with Professor Lee M. Silver, a comedy with scientific issues and moral dilemmas, will begin previews on Thursday, July 8, at HERE (www.here.org), 145 Sixth Avenue (enter on Dominick Street, one block south of Spring Street). The production will be directed by Michael Bigelow Dixon, and will officially open on Sunday, July 11 at 3:00 p.m. (Performances will run through Saturday, July 31.)
In "SWEET, SWEET MOTHERHOOD" Shelley McAnn (Caroline Cooney) is a bitingly intelligent undergraduate student at a top university. Although Shelley covets a spot in a top graduate program, she would rather party than build up a respectable GPA. Professor Henry Stein (Michael De Nola) is an eminent biotechnology researcher and professor at Shelley's university. One afternoon, Shelley stumbles into Stein's office to propose a senior thesis. No ordinary research proposal, Shelley's ideas lay bare the ethical and moral quandaries associated with biotechnology today.
The complete schedule for "SWEET, SWEET MOTHERHOOD" (July 8 through July 31) will be: Thursdays thru Saturdays at 8:30 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All tickets will be $18.00. (The first preview on Thursday, July 8 includes a party and is priced at $25.00.) To reserve tickets, please visit www.here.org or call 212-352-3101.
