Competitions include: diaper changing, singing, cleaning, ironing, riding with children in the car, and yes, even being sexy!  But is this what God had in mind for motherhood?  Find out, in this hilarious, physical comedy.

Shine

The Wizard of Aaahhs

Themes: The needs of mothers, fulfilling our needs, God's wisdom

Summary: Dorothy Rhodes awakens from a nap to find a strange woman in her living room.  The woman, resembling the owner of the bakery down the street, claims she is looking for the Wizard of Aaahhs and wants to know if Dorothy can help her in her search.  Dorothy becomes confused, as she has never heard of such a person.  But one by one, the people in Dorothy's life enter her living room, all looking for the same wise Wizard, and help with their problems: a loss of perspective, no hope, loss of identity etc.  As she rubs her fuzzy house slippers together, chanting "There's no place like home," Dorothy does indeed encounter the Wizard, where she learns the valuable lessons in the land of "Aaahhs."

A Breath of Fresh Air

Themes: Moms of young children, taking a break, commonalities between moms, Jesus providing for our needs

Summary: The first meeting of S.S.A. (Stinky Smells Anonymous) has just commenced.   Amongst laughter and tears, young moms tell their tales of "stench," and find a common bond.  They are reminded of the old Calgon commercial that says, "Calgon, take me away!"  They comment on how nice it would be if they could be whisked away in real life.  Suddenly, one of the moms reaches up to heaven and says, "Jesus, take me away!"  and she is magically transported to a place of blue skies and flowers.  She thinks she is in heaven.  The other ladies soon follow and they learn how Jesus can help "transport" them any time they need a break from the pressures and even "smells" of motherhood. They soon realize that paradise is only a breath away.

Mirror, Mirror

Themes: Mother's Day, motherhood, self-esteem, truth vs. perception, reflections of yourself, how others perceive you

This lighthearted look at motherhood begins with a woman wanting to know how she is doing in her role as a mother. She asks her mirror:  "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest mom of all?" The mirror is hesitant to answer, however, given that he is prone to telling the truth.  But, at the insistence of the woman the mirror begins to tell her the truth as he sees it.  When she becomes discouraged, it takes two other household mirrors to convince the woman that the truth isn't always as it may initially seem. 

Hats

Themes: The many roles of motherhood, moms of young children, a typical day in the life of a mom

"I can sum up motherhood in one word: "hats," says one woman.  Apparently, she has a chef hat, housekeeper hat, chauffeur's hat, nurse's hat, detective hat etc.  This fun 1 person monologue can be read to the audience as a letter or acted out. Actual hat props are optional.  

911

Themes: Moms, loss of identity, changes after children

A frantic woman shows up at a police station to file a missing person's report.  "Alice Moore has been missing for maybe 3 or 4 years," the woman claims.  The officer is at once suspicious and begins asking questions about Alice's disappearance. "Why didn't you report this earlier?" he asks the woman.  Her reply was, "I figured she'd come back eventually, but she didn't."  The woman then goes on to tell how Alice lived a carefree life full of hobbies and interests, but that it all seemed to change after she had children.  When the woman finally shows the officer a picture of Alice, the officer wants to know if this is all a bad joke, because the woman reporting Alice missing, is none other than Alice, herself.
