Gonzales OAP to hold performances of ‘David’s Mother’

Gonzales High School One Act Play will be starting performances of their competition piece, “David’s Mother,” at the Gonzales Junior High Auditorium.

“David’s Mother,” written by Bob Randall, is a tragically beautiful exploration of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of family. Sally, a single mother, is devoted to her nonverbal autistic son, David, shaping her entire life around his care. But as her relationships with others begin to fray, Sally faces difficult questions about the cost of her choices and what the future holds for both her and David. Poignant, powerful, and deeply moving, “David’s Mother” is a testament to the strength and heartbreak of unconditional love. Cast and crew include Ainsley Pope, Emily Hull, River Van Kirk, Autumn Hataway, Luhana Wells, Anahi Meza, Aubree Tovar, Austin Valenta, Nicholas Gonzales, Brett Needham, Alejandro Ordonez, Lily Reeves, Rocco Mastronadi, and Gavin Lekgega. The show is directed by Madi Pope and Lisa Kahanek.

Performances are on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m., March 1 at 7 p.m., and March 2 at 2 p.m. District competition is at La Vernia High School on Feb. 28. Plays start at 2 p.m. and Gonzales will be the first to perform.
