When seventy-five-year-old Mama receives a letter announcing that she may have won ten million dollars, she's convinced that Ed McMahon is coming to her house with a television crew and an enormous check. Her long-suffering daughter, Julie, knows better—and is determined to spare her mother another disappointment. But as their hilarious battle of wills escalates, a deeper conflict emerges between a daughter's desire to protect and an aging mother's determination to keep dreaming. Bringing Up Mama is a touching two-character comedy about love, independence, growing older, and the importance of never giving up hope.
