Emmy Award-winning performer Vicki Lawrence takes the stage in October in Vicki Lawrence and Mama: A Two Woman Show. Lawrence was a high school senior when chosen to become part of the now-legendary cast of The Carol Burnett Show.
During her time on the show, Lawrence created the role for which she is most remembered - Thelma Harper or “Mama,” a beloved character who would inspire her own sitcom Mama’s Family.
Although mostly known for her comedic work on these sitcoms, Lawrence also received a gold record as a recording artist for her hit single, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia."
This entertaining performance features both Lawrence and "Mama" in a mixture of stand-up comedy, music and observations about real life. Where the opinionated Mama is concerned, expect the unexpected!
