My mother loved Auntie Mame. I loved Auntie Mame. I can't tell you how many times we watched it together, or laughed about it together. Auntie Mame is my dream role. My mother often urged me to, "Do that play!" My mother passed away in January of 2020. She suffered from frontal lobe dementia. Shortly before she passed away, I was working on a production of Shirley Valentine. I was visiting my mother at the hospital and she was certain that I was doing Auntie Mame. I explained that I wasn't but that I would do a production of it soon. When I saw the look of disappointment on her face, I wished that I could reach out and snatch the words back into my mouth. She died just 2 months later.
Shortly after her passing, I decided to, "Do that play!" I am raising money for a production of Auntie Mame that will take place in May 2022, and will be a co-production of Rogue Theatre Company and True Rep Theatre. It will raise money for the elder care unit that cared for my mother in her final days, as well as raising awareness and money for a Dementia/Alzheimer's charity (TBD).
Rogue Theatre Company is a 501(c)3 and all donations are tax deductible. I hope that you will not only consider donating to our production of Auntie Mame, but attend the show, as well.
