I was recently invited to attend a performance of "The Night Watcher" by fellow actress Joressa Blount. Joressa had seen the show before and got together a group to see it again with her because she had enjoyed it so much. The one woman show stars Charlayne Woodard (dir. Daniel Sullivan) and weaves together several stories about how Charlayne, although childless herself, has at times been a surrogate mother, mentor, and friend to the many children in her life. This is a great show that challenges the definition of the role "parent" and shows that the old adage "It takes a village to raise a child" is still prevalent today. The show runs through October 31 at Primary Stages 59th Street theater. Go check it out!
