“Wooten’s most endearing characteristic is a deep respect for the cabaret performing tradition and her desire to share it with her audience. Wooten’s other strength is her confident command of her audience.” — Cabaret Scenes
A Night with Jackie “Moms” Mabley is an evening of zingers about everything from sexuality to racism. This Helen Hayes-nominated play for the Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play is delivered with political correctness and filled with fun and laughter as only Charisma can!
Loretta Mary Aiken, better known as “Moms” endured sexual, racial and political oppression while paving the way for African American women actors like Angela Bassett, Margaret Avery, Diana Ross, Alfre Woodard, Oprah Winfrey and the genius of Whoopi Goldberg.
Come enjoy an evening of “edu-tainment” delivered by veteran actor singer/playwright, Charisma Wooten, nominated by the Washington Area Music Awards 2011 for Best Cabaret Artist.
