Mother Load, the National Tour.

"Like Annie Hall wearing a nursing bra!" --The New York Times
"A level of hilarity that even non-moms will appreciate!" --Time Out NY Kids

The critically acclaimed off-Broadway production of Amy Wilson’s one-woman show MOTHER LOAD is embarking on a National Tour. Originally slated for a 7 week run in New York City in May 2007, MOTHER LOAD ran for 9 weeks to sold-out houses. After seeing the show, The Road Company knew that MOTHER LOAD belonged on the road. The tour will premiere in Charlotte, NC on September 30th at 7:30 pm, as the inaugural production at the Studio Theater (101 N. College Street Charlotte, NC 28202).

“The response has been remarkable,” author Wilson comments. “I thought I was the only one who ran myself ragged and still had a house that looked like the town dump. I thought I was the only one with a voice in my head saying ‘Don’t be happy! Worry!’ But the audiences who have seen this show—women and men, parents, and not, perfectionists all—said they were a lot like me: racked with guilt over all the things we won’t, in a million years, have time to do anything about, except feel bad. I can’t wait to meet audiences all over this country and spread the message: lose the ‘Mother Load,’ and remember how to enjoy your kids.”
