‘Mother Lode’

After staging the in-repertory production of the World Premiere of “Mother Lode” by artistic director Virginia Wall Gruenert (“Shaken & Stirred,” “Without Ruth”) in January 2016, off the WALL productions now is presenting the third and final run.

The often contentious relationships between mothers and daughters will no doubt keep therapists in business for years to come, but there is no denying the deep bond that exists between them. “Mother Lode” tells the story of Pittsburgh actor Linda Haston’s mother, Ruth, a force of nature who leaves Jim Crow Alabama as a teen to work and raise her family in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. This one-woman show deals with the end-of-life decisions that must be made by dutiful daughters, as well as the discord, conciliation, warfare and ultimate acceptance between strong, independent women bound by love and family.

Directed by Virginia Wall Gruenert and Spencer Whale, performances are at 8 p.m. Aug. 12 and 13, and 3 p.m. Aug. 14. Tickets are $5-$40.
