Everybody’s Favorite Mothers is written by James Still. The reading is directed by Ellen Fenster and features Stacia Rice*, William McCallum*, Alex Church, Joey Miller*, Ninchai Nok-Chiclana, and Angie Haigh.

Everybody's Favorite Mothers is a theatrical celebration of unconditional love and unlikely activism that started in the summer of 1972 when one mother marched in a parade with her gay son. She carried a home-made sign boldly declaring her support — and a new kind of movement was born. On that day she was an unknown hero to dozens of shocked gays and lesbians — but the story didn’t end there.  Jeanne Manford and her husband Jules went on to co-found a support group for parents — an organization that would eventually become known around the world as PFLAG which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023.
