  Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer Prize–winning drama\n\nSaturday\, 11/14\, 7 
 PM – For one night only\, audiences will have the chance to see Academy

 other and daughter in a staged reading of Marsha Norman’s ‘night\, Mot
 her\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award nominee for 
 Best Play\, directed by Jessica Bauman.\n\nThis is a single performance th
 at will not be repeated. It’s an opportunity to see an Oscar-winning act
 or in an intimate setting\, in a play that has gripped audiences for more 
 than four decades.\n\nSet over a single evening in a rural home\, ‘night
 \, Mother follows Thelma and her daughter Jessie in a conversation that be
 comes a race against the clock: Jessie has calmly announced she plans to e
 nd her life before the night is over\, and her mother has only the evening
  to change her mind. Funny\, frank and devastating\, the play is a landmar
 k of American theater and a showcase for two performers at full strength.\

  and screen known for many memorable and highly acclaimed roles. She is jo
 ined by Munson\, a familiar face to local audiences through her work with
