Just in time for Mother's Day, PYGmalion Theatre Company is presenting the last show of its 2023/2024 season; "Mother of the Maid,"
It's about Joan of Arc's mother, a "sensible, hardworking, God-fearing peasant woman whose faith is upended as she deals with the baffling journey of her odd and extraordinary daughter".
The actresses who play Joan of Arc and her mom Isabelle Arc, joined us in studio with more about the play.
April Fossen (Isabell) and Addie Bowler (Joan) say the show reminds us all about the strength of women and it is also an uplifting story.
They say the play premiered off-Broadway at The Public Theater in September 2018 featuring Glenn Close as Isabelle Arc and Grace Van Patten as Joan.
