(265 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107) is excited to partner with The
League of Live Stream Theater
<https://streaklinks.com/B0kWptNUVI89vdduwwjxauae/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lolst.org%2F>
(LOLST) to present four worldwide live-stream performances of My Mama and
The Full-Scale Invasion

by
Ukrainian playwright Sasha Denisova. The global live stream of the world
premiere co-production is available for $49 (including a $9 service fee) on
February 9 at 7 p.m., February 10 at 2 and 8 p.m., and February 11 at 2
p.m. EST. Partnering with LOLST fulfills The Wilma’s ongoing efforts to
extend the life and reach of its productions through digital content.

The League of Live Stream Theater is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
bringing live performances to audiences around the world via livestream.
Launched just this past year, LOLST has streamed the Pulitzer Prize-winning
Broadway play Between Riverside and Crazy, the critically acclaimed
Broadway production of Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, and most recently the
world premiere off-Broadway play Scene Partners, as well as several
regional productions.

Presented as a world premiere co-production between The Wilma and
Washington, DC-based Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, the play is an
irreverently funny and heartfelt look at the current war in Ukraine told
through Denisova’s family story. My Mama and The Full-Scale Invasion is
directed by The Wilma’s Co-Artistic Director Yury Urnov and features a cast
of award-winning actors Holly Twyford, Wilma HotHouse Company member Suli
Holum, and fellow Wilma Co-Artistic Director Lindsay Smiling. The in-person
presentation of the play runs from January 30 to February 18, with 20
performances presented in The Wilma’s 300-seat theater.

The Wilma and Woolly Mammoth collaborated on My Mama and The Full-Scale
Invasion’s world premiere, presenting the production with the same cast and
crew on their respective stages for the 2023-24 season. My Mama and The
Full-Scale Invasion kicked off Woolly Mammoth’s 2023-24 season and ran from
September 11 to October 8. The play was met with rave reviews, hailed by The
Washington Post theater critic Peter Marks as “ingenious” and “a stunning
tale of love, loyalty, and resilience” by Broadway World. After a
successful run in D.C., the production’s cast and creative team prepare to
continue telling the inspiring story about the resistance of one
octogenarian for The Wilma’s audiences.

My Mama and The Full-Scale Invasion centers on Denisova’s 82-year-old mama,
Olga (Twyford), who has lived in Kyiv her whole life. When Russia invades
Ukraine in 2022, Sasha (Holum) copes with her fears by imagining her mother
in increasingly fantastical situations: strategizing with President
Zelenskyy, meeting with world leaders, taking out Russian drones with jars
of pickles, and even debating with God. Throughout the play, Sasha reveals
layers of her and her mother’s relationship, offering a window into their
lives that is simultaneously revealing and endearing. Denisova was inspired
by her online chats with her mother to write this defiantly funny and
deeply heartfelt play about her family’s connection and legacy amidst the
present-day war and global crisis. In centering herself and her mother in
the play, Denisova provides an emotionally resonant heartbeat to humanize
the Ukrainian resistance for audiences separated from the war by an entire
hemisphere.

“Every day of this criminal and cruel invasion of Ukraine, I feel a
desperate need to respond to it,” said Urnov. “Now, when the focus is
shifting away from the region, the need feels even more urgent. The
Washington Post named Denisova as a leading dramatic voice on Putin’s
tragic war’ for a reason - her play is a treasure both politically and
artistically, despite those two rarely walking hand in hand. Through
telling an extremely personal, emotional, and often funny story about her
own mom, Denisova grasps the very nature of Ukrainian resistance. My Mama
and The Full-Scale Invasion tells facts and gives hope.”

mother on stage” **The Guardian  *

Sasha’s 82-year-old mother has lived in Kyiv her whole life. When Russia
invades Ukraine in 2022, Sasha copes with her fears by imagining her mother
in increasingly fantastical situations: strategizing with President
Zelenskyy, striking Russian drones with jars of pickles, and even debating
with God. Playwright Sasha Denisova was inspired by her online chats with
her mother to write this darkly funny and deeply heartfelt new play.

“My mother was born on the very day when the Germans were bombing so, when
I told her to go to the bomb shelter, the first thing she said was: ‘I’m
not going there. I was born there.’ That gave the start to our ongoing
fight because she didn’t let me come and take her out and, as you will see
in the play, this is a woman of a strong character, as all Ukrainian women
are.”  Sasha Denisova, The Guardian
