Jungle Theater Artistic Director Sarah Rasmussen has spent time recently thinking about how few plays speak to the experience of motherhood. Perhaps there’s a bias that motherhood isn’t interesting to write about or show on stage. Rasmussen’s most recent show, “The Oldest Boy,” begs to differ--rituals of motherhood become a powerful focus. Join Rasmussen and Twin Cities actor Christina Baldwin, featured as Mother in “The Oldest Boy,” as they discuss the role of women and motherhood on stage, and how such a widespread experience is so rarely seen in theater. Rasmussen opened her first season at the Jungle with an acclaimed all-female version of “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” directed “Sense and Sensibility” at the Guthrie, and the final show of the Jungle’s 2016 season, “The Oldest Boy.” Baldwin is a Twin Cities actor and singer, next appearing in “Liberty Falls, 54321,” at the Lab Theater.
