"Some Things You Should Know About My Mom" is a multimedia performance by Gabriel Diamond about his mom Sandy Diamond. It’s full of Jewish Mom jokes, what it was like being a troublemaker teen growing up with a bipolar, hunchback, single artist mom, how he helped her die, burying her with his bare hands, all the regrets, and now, what it like raising a teen of his own. And there’s dancing.
It started off as the eulogy Gabriel shared in 2016. That it was adapted into a play “Memorial” by Tamar Halpern. After about 8 different actors played Gabriel in various productions, Gabriel was invited to perform himself with the Roots and Wings Project in Los Angeles in 2021. Now he’s coming back to the stage to finally share the full story.
