Prime Stage Theatre’s ‘First Mothers’ at New Hazlett (Mon., 11/4/24)

FIRST MOTHERS: The Women Who Raised America’s Presidents by L.E. McCullough. Prime Stage Theatre. November 4.

Lillian Carter, Rose Kennedy, Martha Truman, and Ann Dunham, mother of Barack Obama, among 15 historic women who gave birth to future presidents of the United States, will impart their wisdom, love, and wonderment of motherhood in Prime Stage’s First Mothers: The Women Who Raised America’s Presidents. Most every American child is told he or she can someday grow up to be president of the United States, but only 45 ever have. And, so, on the eve of the next presidential election, Prime Stage presents this one night of American history. Playwright L.E. McCullough is a prolific writer of poetry, young-adult theater, and, surprisingly, Irish music. Director Ponny Conomos Jahn most recently directed Prime Stage’s legal thriller, Witness for the Prosecution. Come witness the lifeblood of America’s political peerage in First Mothers. 7 p.m. at the New Hazlett Center for Performing Arts, 6 Allegheny Square East, North Side. (C.P.O.)
