HOMECOMING is a one woman comic play written and performed by Lauren Weedman. It is the writer/performer's autobiographical account of her
experience being the adopted daughter of her emotionally eclectic mother and her mother's maniacal search for her birth mother. HOMECOMING follows the story of Lauren struggling to find her identity and develop her independence in her upper middle class, emotionally aloof and misguided family.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer is quoted as saying:
"Weedman...weaves a fascinating tale of a girl baby's adoption into a marginally functional family, switching back and forth playing the baby's grandmother, mother, sister and the teenage girl herself as the story progresses over a number of years..what Weedman does so skillfully is bring us into the disjointed world of a family trying to find its way in a confusing world."
"It all began simply enough. All that adopted teenager Lauren Weedman wanted was a picture of her biological mother to 'have around to look at
once in a while.' But this simple request launches Weedman-and her family-on a whirlwind of actions and emotions, recounted in [a] sharply observed, emotionally true and often hilarious autobiographical show." -- The Seattle Times, Janet Tu
"Weedman's acting is so deft and versatile - and her observations of personal mannerisms and tone are so sharp - that [Homecoming] seems populated with dozens of vivid characters." -- The Seattle Times
"Weedman has a particularly malleable face and a capacity to alter her body language so adroitly that she's able, in a flash, to transform herself from the wacky, nervous Sharon into the tentative, frightened Lauren..."
-- Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Alice Kaderlan
"...recalls Carol Burnett in her prime." --Back Stage West, David Edward Hughes
