‘Mothers and Daughters – I’m Glad I Asked’ a funny, tender, heart-felt, one woman show about life with Michele’s own 91 year old mother, Gena. It is an honest and truthful reflection on what it means to have an older parent and the questions we need to ask, but rarely get the chance to. We often hear people say “If only I asked!” when a parent is no longer with us but Michele is determined to change that.
