The God Box Comes to Freehold!

How can we celebrate Mother's Day in a new creative way? Plan on seeing The God Box: A Daughter's Story, a one-woman performance. Mary Lou Quinlan, actress and New York Times best selling author is coming to Freehold to the stage of Applewood Estate's Performing Arts Center on Saturday, May 25, 2 pm. This professionally mounted multi media production is being presented as a fundraiser for GIERS: Grief Information Education Recovery Services, a 501c3 non profit that helps people of all ages survive and thrive after a loss. “After Mary Lou’s mother dies, she discovers a God Box, actually many boxes, filled with her mother's notes to God on tiny scrapes of paper revealing her deep love, concern and spirituality relating to each member of her family and her life”, says Bernice Garfield-Szita, MS, LPC, TEP, Co-Director of GIERS. “This warm engaging one act play filled with wisdom, laughter and some tears will delight audience members whether they are mothers or family members wishing to celebrate the amazing power of the gifts a mother can bring to all she touches”, states Bob Szita, MS, LPC, TEP, Co-Director, GIERS. “After the performance, there will be an audience talk back with Mary Lou Quinlan, personal book signing and a reception with light refreshments”, adds Toby Shylit Mack, Event Producer. Ticket prices: $25 (Mothers Day Special: admission and book, available through May 12th), $20 (General Admission), $27 (admission and book, after May 12th through May 24th), The cost of the book is $10 on the day of the performance.
