| Summary: | 'Dear Mama' is a new one-act play written by Kendra Jones, which premiered with Impel Theatre as part of Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre's Sondheimfest in January 2013. The play pays homage to the classic stage mother in 'Gypsy' while making reference to contemporary child performers. Also inspired by Sondheim's lyrics in 'Gypsy', this new piece delves into the mind and body of a girl obsessed with fame, beauty and attention, teaching that words have the power to build you up or tear you down. Produced by Impel Theatre, 'Dear Mama' was directed by Megan Andres, with design and dramaturgy by Megan Andres, movement by Kendra Jones, stage management by Leah Borchert and sound by John Norman.
