Son of a _____!

A hilarious, tragic and heartwarming journey through one man's fragmented memories. This show redefines motherhood through live music, movement and the shared eccentricities of a mother and her artist son.

Although Levi Morris’ “Son of a -----!” suggests something foul-mouthed and frank, it turns out to be an earnest, tender coming-of-age story by a self-admitted mama’s boy. He’s a 24-year-old man with part of a 50-odd-year-old woman living inside of him, he tells us. Morris and Elizabeth Behnke, who plays his mother, dance, mime and bound across the stage as they deliver memories from a fractured childhood. The show, whose atmospheric music is played by cellist Kathleen Watson and pianist Sarah Gillund, is a little long and loose. If it wins us over in places, it’s because of its humor and big heart.
