LAST LISTS OF MY MAD MOTHER
MAY 15TH TO 25TH!
LISTS is a hilarious, and touching look at the toll Alzheimer’s takes on a parent-child relationship. It magnificently reveals the humor within the tragedy, without taking away from the seriousness of the issue. Ma cares about ribbons and bows, intransitive verbs and keeping to her rigid schedule. Dot uses a wicked sense of humor to sort out the tangle of her mother’s mind. Together they struggle with Ma’s inevitable decline, while Sis phones in her advice from afar. In and out of the sinewy webs of Ma’s fleeting awareness, retracing paths they have traveled countless times, Ma and Dot drive toward understanding and arrive with some sense of surprise at the destination of comfort.

Barbara Biondo
My love of theater and audiences go back to my early childhood. I am not certain when I first felt the “tug” toward acting. Some of my favorite recent productions in the Reno/Truckee area include: Truckee Community Theater-Year of the Frog and Toad, and Young Frankenstein; Gothic Theater North-Quartet: Bruka Theater-Moon Over Buffalo. I am beyond excited to be working with this awesome cast and director in Last Lists of My Mad Mother at Restless Artists
