Momma’s Boy

written and directed by Eleanor Crowder

City Boy falls for the North in the person of a Flame-haired Beauty. She longs to fly south. What do Momma and the goat shed have to do with it? Everything – just listen to the music.

This new play from director and playwright Eleanor Crowder, one of Ottawa’s most-produced theatre artists, features a stellar cast, a musical pulse that surprises with sound effects and original songs, and a story that grabs you by the heart. The company, Asterisk Rising, is also known for Family Album, a cutting edge audience involvement theatre experiment.

“I write the amazing joy in everyday life, and the danger of it. My characters are your sister, your best friend. But do you know them like this?” – Eleanor Crowder
