Welcome, to Shows Your Mama Wouldn't Know About,

Why this blog?
So, my mama suggested I start a blog about cool theater found in NYC that's not necessarily on the public radar, everything else besides commercial theater. After a handful of successful recommendations, mama thought I had a knack for picking out some good plays. Going off of her word, here I am attempting to create a resource for other mamas out there as well as young hopefuls who've just moved to the city and want to see something that is beautiful, thought-provoking and inspiring.

Who am I?
My name is Rachel Berger. I am an aspiring theatre artist in the biggest theatre capital of the world, New York City. I graduated from Muhlenberg College with a B.A. in Theatre and French. After graduation, I spent a year as an acting apprentice at the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati. Now, I'm trying to survive in the concrete jungle, interning at the New York Theatre Workshop, starting up a new theatre company called True False Theatre, auditioning for shows around the Island, and finding time to make money whether it be bartending, waitressing, babysitting, dogwalking...

Why trust my opinion?
Just ask my mama...
