Questions My Mother Can’t Answer is a moving and funny one woman show written and performed by Andrea Caban, New York Innovative Theatre Award-winning solo-artist, directed by Rachel Eckerling, long-time collaborator of Francis Ford Coppola, with sound design by Grammy Award Winner, Marcelo Anez.
In a tour-de-force performance, Andrea goes on a mind-body-soul healing mission after being hit by a New York City cab. She interviews eight “women- of-a-certain-age” including a sexy Moroccan ballroom dancer, a donations-only prostitute, and her Aunt Shirley. Hoping to redefine “navigating life” and to interpret the ticks of her biological clock, Andrea looks for guidance from a variety of female role models, only to find that there are no role models...that we are all flawed and life is not about avoiding accidents or tragedies, but how we deal with them.

“...a strong, deeply-felt play about the power of women, particularly older women, and their hard-won wisdom.”
“Wonderful and thought-provoking performance.”
“I left the theatre feeling like I had gained something
I didn't even know was missing.”
“...a cohesive presentation of unique philosophical value, a humorous narrative that can inspire tears and that possesses a kind of healing mojo.”
"Getting slammed to the pavement by a New York taxi is as fine an occasion as any for the start of a 'vision quest'."
