Staceyann Chin's Motherstruck, Directed by Cynthia Nixon, Canceled Off-Broadway

Drama and the city. The world premiere of MotherStruck!, written and performed by Staceyann Chin and directed by Cynthia Nixon, will no longer begin previews on September 24 at Culture Project’s Lynn Redgrave Theater. The project has been postponed indefinitely.

“At this point…we do not have the resources to produce MotherStruck! in the manner in which it deserves,” said Allan Buchman, Artistic Director of Culture Project, in a statement.

MotherStruck! sets forth Chin’s personal journey to motherhood as a single woman, lesbian and activist who does not have health insurance or a “serious, stable financial set up,” but wants to have a child. Told through Chin’s uniquely personal and poetic lens, this solo show explores how the process changed her life and how she makes peace with what she learns from this profound experience.
