"My Mama Monologues stories are meaty...like a smorgasbord... hot, cold,
milky, sweet, salty, sour, bitter, spicy..."
"My Mama Monologues"
Pat Masumoto (MMM Playwright & Originator) and her friends and family have been
exchanging stories about their mothers for years. They have boasted,
laughed hysterically, cried like babies, and expressed intense and mild frustrations...
and concerns of a lifetime, and of the last hour.
What powerful therapy!
Men, women and children from around the world have contributed raw, down-to-earth,
true stories about their mothers to create this unique theatrical production.
We are excited the 2010 production also included
original stories about Denver mothers.
Directed, produced and performed by locals from the Denver area.
Thank you for your support of the 2010 production of My Mama Monologues.
Look for our 2011 production on May 6 and 7, 2011.

“My Mama Monologues”© is a staged reading originally held on Mother’s Day weekend 2009.
MMM 2009 included a diverse mix of 39 stories, submitted by the public, about one’s own mother.
Selected stories are included in a play-reading premiering each Mother's Day, in May,
at The McCoy Studio Theater, Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
Other venues throughout Hawaii, the U.S. and elsewhere are also producing MMM,
with new stories told each year on Mother's Day.
The birth of "My Mama Monologues 2009" included stories from as far as England, about mothers from places as remote as the Andes, and born as long ago as 1897.
Many stories were "oral history" at its best. The Maui cast of 30 readers included
grandparents and grandchildren, celebrities and first-timers.
