“A Song for Mother Water is a captivating performance that engages individuals on a deeper level. I learned so much about the impact society is having on various elements of water. The work succeeds in delivering its message but goes further to allow moments of connection with each actress. With such a diverse cast, there are moments where you can feel the individual bringing pieces of themselves to the role, which makes A Song for Mother Water feel like a moment of connection with different cultures along with providing commentary on the environment.”

You cannot witness this extraordinary presentation without being forever changed and inspired.”
