A mother-daughter love story.

Thank you to those who attended MY MOTHER HAS 4 NOSES at the JUNGLE THEATER in Minneapolis, February 10 - March 4, 2018. 

We are always working on taking 4 NOSES to new cities & audiences. Join our mailing list for further 4 NOSES adventures & other Jonatha Brooke appearances. 

"In September of 2010, I moved my mother to New York so I could care for her. She was in the mid stages of Alzheimer's. I had no idea what I was getting in to. But there was no question I would be there for her.

We had quite an adventure - my "real life" on the back burner, my "career" all but halted. But our very vivid, very real life together was, at times, great theatre.

Mom was a character. In fact I've always thanked her on stage for all the good material. Ironically, in her last two years, she took it to a new level. She was funny, she was impossible. My only instinct: write it, sing it, tell it. It was her instinct too: Almost daily she would say, "Boolie," (my nickname) "That's good! Are you getting this down? We should make a play out of it! We could take it to BROADWAY!"

Well, I was getting it down. "My Mother Has Four Noses" is the result: A play and a new album of the songs that weave in and out of the telling.

After successful readings in New York, LA, Philly, and Chicago. "My Mother Has Four Noses" debuted at the Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT in June of 2013. We did four shows at the Playwright's Centre in Minneapolis that August; had an incredible sold out show at the FRINGE FESTIVAL in Philly on September 11; and finally, two sold out, previews at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis in December 2013.

"4 Noses" opened Off Broadway at The Duke on 42nd Street on February 14, 2014 and ran for ten weeks. We couldn't have dreamed of better reviews.

"My Mother Has 4 Noses" at its very heart,  is a love story, with all the attendant comedy and tragedy. I only regret that mom couldn't have seen it. "After all," she'd crack, "how many people do YOU know who can say they have FOUR noses?"
