Description

Stew by Zora Howard opens January 19th at The Laboratory Theater of Florida.

This fast-paced family dramedy bubbles and simmers like the titular meal that Mama, her daughter, and grandchildren work to make one important Saturday morning. Unease and tension grow with the heat of the kitchen, with a twist at the end so clever you'll want to watch the show twice.

"…a captivating story that’s intimate, funny, and heartbreaking in equal measure." - The New Yorker

Director Sonya McCarter says, “Step into Mama's kitchen and celebrate the joys and pains of multi-generations cooking together. In Mama's kitchen, you'll find love, laughter, comfort, and a healthy dose of "You're doing it wrong! That's too much! and Just let me do it!"

Producing Artistic Director Annette Trossbach says, "It's clear from the fun yet haunting, fast-paced language of the play why Stew was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. I laughed out loud and cried the first time I read it - it's so honest and sharp, with the conversation just crackling with old and new tensions but underpinned by an enormous love. Mama rules the house and loves everyone in it, though her memory seems to be slipping..."

Directed by Sonya McCarter, Stew by Zora Howard features Tijuanna Clemons (Mama), Calah McCarter (Nelly), Shakiya Boucher (Lillian), Bianca Barner (Lil Mama), and Terroncia Simon (U/S for Mama) Stage management by Lauren Miller, set design by Jonathan Johnson and Gabrielle Lansden.
