Keeping It Inn

In this charming and heartfelt one-woman show, writer and performer Cindy Pierce portrays her mother during the last six decades of her life as she navigated raising seven kids, the loss of two children, running a New Hampshire inn with her husband, and the unhealed pain that holds in her mind even when dementia robbed her memory.

Functionally dysfunctional families start with well-intended choices and usually lead to unraveling consequences. When Nancy dies at ninety-three, she stumbles on the chance to explain her six decades as a mother of seven, wife and innkeeper. Running a ramshackle inn deepens their love and keeps them busy enough to hold their sorrows at bay. As Nancy’s life tour continues, she reconsiders her choices and the unmistakable evidence that tending our hearts is necessary. When dementia consumes her, she maintains her conviction, humor and sass as she shares a bit more wisdom about family connection, lasting love, and the need to adapt right to the final exit ramp.

Keeping It Inn will be performed at the Mosesian Center for the Arts on Friday, May 17, at 7:30 PM. 

Mosesian Arts is located at 321 Arsenal Street in Watertown. Free parking is available in a multi-level garage adjacent to the arts center. Tickets may be purchased at the box office or online at www.mosesianarts.org.
