About my Show
My Daughter Hates Me (a Mother’s Story) explores the complexities of family estrangement.
A mother who, in her pursuit of creating a perfect family, ends up alienating her daughter. After years of silence, she now seeks to re-establish contact before time runs out.
Will she be successful?
Artistic Statement
I want to create theater that amplifies the voices and experiences of women who are often overlooked, bringing their unique perspectives to the forefront of the stage. My original work explores motherhood, family, loss, and identity, with a particular focus on the lived experiences of older women. My training enables me to blend rigorous craft with improvisation and autobiographical performance. I invite my audiences into honest conversations, offering stories that are raw, compassionate, and deeply human.
