Yo dawg is gonna look like a show dawg
and your kitty will be pretty.
Adopted at three m onths old,
Portland Playw right Kwik Jones
has dedicated his new m usical
“S w eet M am a Jo n e s,” to the
wom an he has known as mother,
Azzie Jones, a form er foster par
ent whose loving spirit inspired
the show ’s hopefulness o f fos
tering children.
In the play, which debuts with
a free admission reading o f Act 1,
M ama Jones’ senses are dim in
ished with age, but she (played by
Onnie Irby) takes on tw o rowdy
sisters (played by Charlise Pas
chal and Symone Embaye) to keep
them from being separated in the
m arry-go-around o f the foster
care system. As uncertainty lin
gers, attitudes fly, and a tragedy
surfaces, M am a Jones is force to
make an even tougher decision:
Live or die.
The performance will take place
Saturday, April 7 at 2 p.m. at
