United Solo Presents

STEP MAMA DRAMA!
A One Voice Production

Written and Performed by: ALLISON HETZEL
Music and Lyrics by: RAPHAEL CRYSTAL
Technical and spousal support: DAVID DURHAM
Press Representative: ANDREA ALTON

The audience for this show is increasingly wide with divorce and remarriage being so prevalent.

Step-parents can easily relate to the humorous, mis-guided things well intentioned friends and relatives say when they find out you are marrying a man with children. Ms. Hetzel does justice to her own experience and the perspectives of others in blended families. Music helped accompany the ups and downs, pleasure and pain in the role of the step-mother, from interacting with the “birth mom” and occasional joy and appreciation from the kids. There were many crisp lines delivered well and throughout and this play (45 minutes) could be condensed as an article in a women’s magazine. The song at the end, beautifully written and sung, summed up this slice of life nicely for all to appreciate.
