Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company presents "My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding"

Claire is a 37-year old divorced mother from Nebraska who has moved to Canada for a university teaching position.  Her son, David, soon joins her, and as she discovers a new life as a single mom, lesbian, and Jewish woman, David’s journey takes him through his teen years into adulthood.  This dynamite musical, based on true events, looks at the realities of today’s world - equality, same sex marriage, and the changing American family – with “a kick-ass musical score that rocks the house.” (nytheatre.com)
