The Center for Creative Play, located just off Braddock Avenue in Regent Square, is a national leader in inclusive play and play environments. Known locally to parents in Pittsburgh as the best place to take the kids on a snowy day, the Center houses a beautiful state of the art multi-purpose performance space where concerts, family and adult entertainment are presented. It is in this space that the play will be performed. When asked about Yo’ Mama, Mara Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer and Founding Parent of the Center was understandably enthusiastic, “We are very excited to partner with Heather in presenting Yo’ Mama! We are thrilled to be able to offer theatrical programming in our performance space. We want to encourage local artists, arts patrons, and parents to use our space as an entertainment destination in the evenings.”

This collaboration takes site-specific theatre to a whole new level. Yo’Mama!, written and directed by Arnet after the birth of her son, sets six new mothers in a post-natal yoga class where they share honest, humorous, sexy, and irreverent tales of parenthood as they move continuously in and out of yoga postures. As the Center for Creative Play is a popular destination for parents and families and as its downstairs neighbor is Fitness Yoga – where people can take pre and post-natal yoga classes – the play is easily at home in its new location.
