Show Info
written and performed by Charlayne Woodard
Originally presented in our 2009/2010 Season at 59E59, THE NIGHT WATCHER is an auto-biographical, one-woman play by actress-playwright Charlayne Woodard. Simultaneously a best friend, advisor, confidant, and sage to the many young people who call her “Auntie,” Charlayne Woodard is childless only by biological standards. Told with penetrating grace and candor, Woodard beautifully weaves together stories of the ordinary and extraordinary ways she has mentored the children in her life. Declared “thoughtful, vivid, entertaining, and poignant” in its original run, The Night Watcher is an intimate look at the various definitions of parenthood.
