SIGNIFICANT MOTHER episode 8: Home Is Where the Lamp Is
Written by Erin Cardillo & Richard Keith, Directed by Tripp Reed Tonight’s episode was another example of what makes Significant Mother such a unique show.

SIGNIFICANT MOTHER episode 6: GET FORKED
Written by Erin Cardillo, Richard Keith, and Katie Schwartz Directed by Jonathan Silverman Okay, here’s a late review. This is for last Monday’s episode, which I didn’t get to see that night because I had to work late that day and was going in early the next day, so I took some sleeping pills and…

SIGNIFICANT MOTHER episode 2: Mixed Doubles

SIGNIFICANT MOTHER episode 1: Welcome To Bonetown
Written by Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith Directed by John Putch I’ve been looking forward to this show ever since I first heard of it back in April.
