About this event

The Poetic Conversations of Ma A New Stage Play by Jeremy C. Watson Starring Ke'Ira Lewis as Ma Set in the 1980s, The Poetic Conversations of Ma is a heartfelt and poetic tribute to the women whose strength, sacrifice, and unwavering love held their families together through life's most difficult seasons. Through the eyes of a son reflecting on his childhood, we meet Ma a woman whose words carried wisdom, whose prayers filled the house with hope, and whose love became the bridge that kept her family together when everything around them seemed to be falling apart. As her children navigate the challenges of growing up and a father struggles to find his way back home, Ma's poetic voice becomes the light guiding them through heartbreak, forgiveness, faith, and healing. Blending powerful storytelling, spoken word poetry, and unforgettable characters, The Poetic Conversations of Ma explores the beauty of motherhood, the complexities of family, and the lasting impact of a mother's love long after her words have been spoken. A moving theatrical experience that will make you laugh, cry, reflect, and remember the woman whose strength helped shape your story. "Poetry is the beautiful bridge that holds them all together."
