Matt Doyle in Conversations With Mother Opens

Call your mother! The curtain is now up on Conversations with Mother, a new comedy by Matthew Lombardo starring Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Matt Doyle (Tony Award winner for Company).

Lombardo’s semi-autobiographical comedy traces the relationship between Italian matriarch Maria Collavechio (Caroline Aaron) and her gay son (Matt Doyle) spanning the course of five decades. As they continue to test their lifelong bond, the play depicts the outrageously funny and sometimes completely infuriating dynamic between a conventional mother and her free-spirited son.  

Conversations With Mother has a limited run at Theater 555 through May 11. Noah Himmelstein directs. Tickets are now on sale and available through Venuetix.com.
