SUMMARY:Dear Mom, a new play
DESCRIPTION:PHILLY WELCOMES BRAND NEW SHOW ‘DEAR MOM’\nA ‘Dramed
 y’ Inspired by Actual Letters Written From\nDaughters to Their Mothe
 rs\n We are pleased to announce the premiere of DEAR MOM, a ‘dramed
 y’ inspired by actual letters written by daughters to their mothers.
  DEAR MOM tells the story of Linda, a 45 year-old woman faced with hav
 ing to say goodbye to her mother Joan. Through the letters she is able
  to reflect on her relationship with her mother with candor and humor.
 \n \nDEAR MOM will be playing at the Penn’s Landing Playhouse, loca
 ted in the Independence Seaport Museum; the show soft opened on April 
 1st and will now officially run through June 4th. The play stars Kathe
 rine Barron as Linda, Frances McGarry, PhD as Joan and Kelsey Lidsky a
 s “the letter writers.”\n \nWhen Co-Creators Jay Falzone and Nanc
 y Holson took action to receive letters from real daughters to mothers
  they did not expect the outpouring of material they received. Letters
  came in from all walks of life, from all over the world and from wome
 n ranging from ages 18 to 88. Each one inspired the play and many of t
 he actual letters appear unedited in a book they are releasing in conj
 unction with the show entitled Dear Mom, It’s About Time I Told, whi
 ch can be purchased for $20 at every performance.  \n \n\"DEAR MOM i
 s a play about a mother and daughter that know exactly how to push eac
 h other’s buttons,” says Co-Creator Jay Falzone. “Amidst the fun
 ny and poignant letters, the heart of the play is in these two feisty 
 women that argue, then make up, in humorous and touching ways.\"\nThe 
 DEAR MOM team is especially thrilled to be hosting a special matinee p
 erformance on Mother’s Day, May 11th.  In fact, some of the actual 
 letter writers are traveling in for this special event, from as far as
  Hawaii.\n \nAdditionally, a portion of sales from the entire run of 
 show will go to Breastcancer.org – a national nonprofit, locally bas
 ed in Ardmore, that is recognized as the leader in providing the most 
 reliable, complete and up-to-date information on breast cancer. To mak
 e the donation, ticket buyers can use promo code “MOM.”\n \nAfter
  the Mother’s Day matinee performance guests can stay for a receptio
 n to meet the actors, producers, directors, and letter writers as well
  as representatives from BreastCancer.org, who will be able to provide
  information on the impact of each donation. Light fare and mimosas wi
 ll be provided.\n \n“There is nothing quite as special as the relat
 ionship between a mother and daughter,” says Rita Lusen, VP of Corpo
 rate Partnerships at Breastcancer.org. “We are excited to be involve
 d with such a meaningful show and we are thankful for the generous sup
 port for the millions of mothers and daughters in our Breastcancer.org
  community.”\n \nDEAR MOM is playing at the Penn’s Landing Playho
 use in the Independence Seaport Museum, now through June 4th, located 
 at 211 South Columbus Boulevard. Shows are on Tuesday and Wednesday ev
 enings at 7pm with a special matinee performance at 2pm on May 11th, M
