A Mother’s Heart is a docudrama about the relationships between two single-parent mothers and their sons. One son is an eighteen-year-old high school senior, and the other is a young NYC police Officer. Their lives collide and are forever altered at a traffic stop that turns deadly. This story explores violence, death, consequences, forgiveness, and restorative justice.

The performance is followed by a panel discussion and talk-back with the audience.
