In search of Mom

What better way to get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day than enjoying a performance of “Are You My Mother?” on May 6 at 3 pm at the College of Staten Island?

Based on the classic children’s book by P.D. Eastman, Baby bird emerges from her shell only to discover that her mother is missing. With help from a cat, dog, and hen, Baby Bird learns that families come in all shapes and sizes — as long as it’s held together by love.

“Are You My Mother?” is recommended for children 5 to 8 years old. Tickets are $10, $12, and $16 for the hour-long performance on May 6 at 3 pm.

The College of Staten Island, 2800 Victory Blvd. near Christopher Lane, (718) 982-2787. Visit www.cfashows.com.
