Early motherhood had Jessica facing realities about her body that she had spent her whole life since puberty avoiding and leaking emotions she had worked decades to plaster over. She was an astronaut, separated from a boiling death by a flimsy spacesuit. She was a supernova, consuming itself in darkness. She was a space rock, cold and alone. “Eat the Mama” is one juicy bite of vulnerability with a lot of space metaphors.’
This is a limited run playing Thursday, September 14 through Sunday, September 17, 2023. Opening night/press night will take place Friday, September 15. Tickets are $30 GA/$50 VIP/$20 with Funcheap discount code.
