Character Helen: single mother, mid to late 40’s, high school drama teacher, ex-performer, living in NYC. Bright, funny, sensitive, chatty, corny, probably Midwestern by birth.

(F#3 to F#5) Description On the eve of her son’s first-choice college interview, Helen, a single mother in NYC, excitedly prepares and reflects on their journey to this day. She has happily put her “exceptional” only child, Kevin, at the center of her universe. Kevin has dreamt of attending MIT for years, and Helen wants nothing more than to see his dream come true. When we meet her again a year later, she reveals what happened around that interview that would change their relationship forever. Originally Directed by Victoria Clark Originally Music Directed by Benji Goldsmith Originally Starring Rebecca Luker Bios JEFF BLUMENKRANTZ received a Tony Award nomination as one of the co-songwriters of Urban Cowboy.
