"Ya Mama!" is a one woman show that explores how being an artist, a wife, a mother, a Christian, and a Black woman collide in my life. "I have an unrealized relationship with my biological mother, who died when I was very young and a confusing relationship with my stepmother, who is living. The experiences are diametrically opposed as I shape who I am as a mother of three; something neither of them did. And how do I balance all of the things that make me, 'me'? Sometimes, I don't...How will this fadge?"  Nina, who was last seen at CPT in her heralded performance of "No Child", once again plays multiple characters in this seamless one-woman show that swings from comedy to tragedy. "Ya Mama!" was developed as part of CPT's Big Box performance series and accepted into the 2011 New York Fringe Festival. WORLD PREMIERE.
