MOUNTAIN MAMAS

by Daryl Lisa Fazio

SUMMER 2025 AT BARTER'S SMITH THEATRE

After a mining accident renders her unable to move or communicate, fiercely independent Patsy Armstrong is forced to rely on her parents for everything. Then her family learns that Patsy’s injuries may be the result of her own negligence. What really happened that day in the mine? Inspired by the legacy of women coal miners, this story of resilience and redemption teaches us once again that the truth will always set you free.
