I REMEMBER MAMA
By John Van Druten
Adapted from Kathryn Forbes’ MAMA’S BANK ACCOUNT
September 14th to September 24, 2023
At The Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant St. Maumee, Ohio
Toledo – The Lakeside Theatre Company is excited to announce its production of John Van Druten’s I REMEMBER MAMA (female version) opening Thursday, September 14 and running until Sunday, September 24, 2023.
This heartwarming and inspiring play is based on Kathryn Forbes’ novel ‘Mama’s Bank Account’. The play was performed on Broadway in 1944, followed by an award-winning film, a TV show, and a musical. The play details the daily tragedies and triumphs of a Norwegian immigrant family in early 20th century San Francisco. This simple and honest 1940’s classic shows how even the smallest and seemingly most insignificant experiences of family life still resonate with today’s audiences. This production will be performed by ten local veteran actresses playing multiple roles. ‘I Remember Mama’ is a memory play and women are ‘memory carriers’.I REMEMBER MAMA will be directed by The Lakeside Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Mary T. Boyer. Ms. Boyer, a native of Toledo, has returned to her hometown after 47 years in NYC. Her NYC years were spent working and teaching in the theatre, film and TV industry. She is the owner and founder of MTB Acting Studio in Manhattan. She can be seen as Pat Warren (Crazy Eyes’ Mom) on ‘Orange is the New Black’ currently streaming on Netflix, as well as Lois Hawes in ‘You Don’t Know Jack’.
