"Most people choose not to speak about the change of life and sweep their questions and concerns under the rug. Menopause Mama is here to tell everyone we’re not buying into
society’s negative images about growing older. We’re wiser, sexier, and more fulfilled.
And this woman’s not done!”
- ROSE WEAVER
Rose Weaver's Menopause Mama is a compelling, cutting-edge, and often hilarious solo play about menopause and aging. In the United States, an estimated 6,000 women reach menopause daily, which translates to over 1.3 million women annually. Through a variety of characters and interspersed with signature renditions of songs, Rose Weaver depicts the struggles, triumphs, tears, and the lighter side of menopause. ​​
Rose Weaver is an award-winning actor, singer, and writer with a career spanning over 50 years in theater, film, and television. She has performed at Trinity Rep, the Mark Taper Forum, and major venues nationwide.
Menopause Mama tells the humorous, poignant, outrageous, heart-warming, and very human stories of women who have successfully—or not too successfully—traveled the waters we call "the change."
