ACTORS’ READING COLLECTIVE
presents
the San Francisco premier of
Mary Jane
by Amy Herzog
directed by Amy Kossow
As Mary Jane navigates both the mundane and the unfathomable realities of caring for Alex, her chronically ill young son, she finds herself building a community of women from many walks of life. Mary Jane is Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog’s remarkably powerful and compassionate portrait of a contemporary American woman striving for grace.
“Seeing this play, I’ve felt inspired—not by heroism but by everyday decency, empathy, competence and strength. In a world that often seems far from those values, Herzog’s play shines like a candle in the dark.”
- Adam Feldman, Time Out, April 23, 2024
Run time: 95 minutes, no intermission
