Secrets of a Soccer Mom
All’s fair in love and soccer, and sometimes even mama’s got to step off the sidelines. In Kathleen Clark’s
Secrets of a Soccer Mom, three reluctant mothers rage against their sons in a rapidly unraveling soccer game where confessions fly as fast as the ball. Weaving the pleasant predictability of a Lifetime movie with a laugh-out-loud script, the annual game encourages a bout of unexpected soul-searching as the women question motherhood, independence and whether they should let their boys win. The “sympathetic and compelling comedy” ultimately serves up a heaping helping of girl power as it kicks mommy-blog culture to the curb. Marisela Barrera directs the AtticRep production starring Anna De Luna, Georgette Lockwood and Margaret Tonra.
