Directed by Wendy C. Goldberg, performances of Terrence McNally's play will begin Feb. 6, 2015, and continue through March 8.
"In Mothers and Sons, a woman pays an unexpected visit to the apartment of her late son’s partner, who is now married to another man and has a young son," press notes state. "This eloquent, timely, and intensely resonant play is a moving reflection on a changed America and the ever-evolving understanding of family."
