As Mary Jane (Emily Donahue) navigates both the mundane and the unfathomable realities of caring for Alex, her chronically ill young son, she finds herself building a community of women from many walks of life. “Mary Jane” is Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog’s “remarkably powerful and compassionate portrait of a contemporary American woman striving for grace,” note the organizers.
“Mary Jane” was commissioned by Yale Rep. Development and production support are provided by Yale’s Binger Center for New Theatre.
Tickets for “Mary Jane” range from $12 to $99 and are available online, by phone at 203-432-1234, and in person at the Yale Rep Box Office, 1120 Chapel St. Student, senior, and group rates are available.
