When her mother goes missing in the desert between the US/Mexico border, Solana journeys out with a group of activists to bring her back. As her past begins to haunt her, Solana must overcome a lifetime of hurt and suspicion to undertake an extraordinary transformation in the hopes of keeping her family together. My Mother the Sun is a meditation on the way borders arrest grief, the transformative power of empathy, and the need for unconditional hospitality in the face of institutional cruelty.
Parity Productions' Annual Awards Ceremony & Celebration is the must-attend event for those who seek to champion gender parity in theatre and the development of compelling new works by women, trans, and gender-expansive playwrights. The highlight of the evening is the announcement of our Parity Development Award Winners: two women, trans, or gender-expansive playwrights who demonstrate a dedication to the craft of playwriting and a singular talent for storytelling. The selected playwrights receive $2,500 each and extensive development support for their play, with an option for Parity to produce their work.
100% of funds raised support Parity’s critical work to amplify women, trans, and gender-expansive voices in the theatre and create career opportunities for women, trans, and gender-expansive artists.
In the spirit of making theatre accessible to all, our workshops and readings are free to attend! Help support our mission and keep our events free by giving below:
