The Holy Mother of Hadley New York
BY BARBARA WIECHMANN
DIRECTED BY RACHEL DICKSTEIN
DEEP INDOORS… DEEP INSIDE WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL OR UGLY… WHAT IS A TOWN BUT THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO YOU?
In Hadley, New York, Agnes La Voie sees the Virgin Mary in her kitchen window. How do her neighbors respond to the sighting? Or to the news that the Holy Mother will appear again, this time in the parking lot of Arvid Gurney’s gas station? Just as a snowball picks up mass and speed, the voices of the townspeople propel us forward, unearthing in their path the raw emotional landscape of Hadley. A dark, lyrical, funny new play about community, motherhood, and the investments me make in belief.
