Upcoming Spring 2025 Production:

I Am My Mother's Daughter

Written and Directed by Mary Hall

Friday, April 18th, 8PM & Saturday, April 19th, 2PM, Helms Theatre

When Thalia Walker inherits her estranged grandmother's house in her will, she is forced to confront a past she never had. Unable to get answers from her mother, she turns to unlikely methods, including her mother's childhood best friend, in order to piece together her family tree. However, with pushback from both her mother and fiancé, Thalia isn't sure if she'll be able to get what she wants: an understanding of her past and future, including her family, both biological and chosen.

The Lab Series Program is presented by the UVA Department of Drama and the Virginia Players. Through Lab Series, we are interested in providing a vehicle for students to produce and direct their own theatrical work, mentored by the Virginia Players Executive Board and Drama Department faculty. By being selected to participate in Lab Series, directors/playwrights will receive up to $200 to launch their proposed project in the a Drama Department facility, often the Helms Theatre, a flexible blackbox performance space. With our resources and guidance, we aspire to give opportunities and experience to students interested in learning more about theatrical production, as well as help them bring their vision into reality on the stage.
