About this Event

PRESENTED BY CURTAIN CALL PLAYHOUSE

This play takes you on a heart-wrenching yet hilarious journey through the highs and lows of a mother-daughter relationship that refuses to break, no matter how tough life gets. Aurora, the outspoken mom with no filter, and her daughter Emma, who’s constantly frustrated by her, might not always see eye to eye, but their love and mix of emotions run deep.From Aurora’s unexpected love story to Emma’s struggles with her troubled marriage, this play is a mix of laughs, tears, and everything in between. When life throws its hardest punches, can they find the strength to lean on each other? A genuine celebration of family, love, and beautiful chaos.

“The finely tuned craft exhibited by all the show’s actors was flawless; we can also credit the inspired guidance of guest director John Hernandez…

I’m actually glad I never saw the movie, because now I’ll always remember these characters as Curtain Call’s cast. Kris Coffelt made a perfect Aurora…Alan Goodman who, as astronaut Garrett, has once again proven himself to be the perfectly believable cad with a heart of gold.” By Mindy Leaf, South Florida Theater

"A theatrical gem. . . .Terms of Endearment, is an enthralling, realistic portrayal of humankind with all of its affection, humor and conflict." Broadway World.

2 Hours 15 Mins, 1 Intermission
