Racine Theatre Guild presents “Things My Mother Taught Me”

The idea of “mother knows best” is hilariously flipped upside down in “Things My Mother Taught Me” at the Racine Theatre Guild from Friday, January 11 through Sunday, January 27.

Olivia and Gabe are excited to finally start their lives together as they move into their first apartment. However, even after moving halfway across the country, they cannot escape their parents who show up unannounced to lend a helping hand. Their furniture will not fit, the moving truck goes missing, and their parents get into squabbles – can anything else go wrong? Find out in this heartwarming romantic comedy.

Written by Katherine DiSavino, “Things My Mother Taught Me” is sponsored by Mike Klug, RE/MAX Newport Elite REALTOR® and WRJN / 92.1 VTY Country.  The cast features Lindy Ross as Olivia, Norgie Metzinger as Gabe, Emily Mueller as Lydia, Larry Rowe as Wyatt, Frank Russ as Carter, Mary Kveton as Karen, and Savannah Bishop as Max, all under the direction of Nathan Stamper.
