MOTHER LOAD EXTENDS ITS PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

NEW YORK, NY-MAY 17, 2007: HYDE PARK & LAFAYETTE and BRIAN LIEBMAN are
pleased to announce that they are extending the performance schedule of the
Off-Broadway show MOTHER LOAD. The one-woman show, written and performed by
Amy Wilson and directed by Julie Kramer, opened on Friday May 4 at 8 p.m. at
Off-Broadway¹s Sage Theater (711 7th Avenue at 47th/48th St) and has
continuously played to sold-out audiences. The show will now close on June
22nd.

In a world where a toddler's birthday party must be catered, a stroller
costs eight hundred dollars, and nursery school applications require
thoughtful essay writing, how can a mom keep her perspective? From prenatal
yoga to preschool interviews, actress and writer Wilson struggles to throw
off the "Mother Load" of unrealistic expectations, ignore the competitive
"sanctimommies" lurking in every playgroup, and somehow find the time to
enjoy her kids.

Any parent who has fed their kids dinosaur chicken nuggets three times this
week will identify with Amy's guilt, and fellow perfectionists will cheer as
she frees herself from it. You'll love MOTHER LOAD whether you are a
mother or just have one.

Tickets to MOTHER LOAD are $45 and are available online at
www.ticketcentral.com or by calling 212-279-4200. Tickets may also be
purchased in person at the Ticket Central Box Office, located at 416 W. 42nd
Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues.

MOTHER LOAD runs now thru June 22, with performances Tuesday­Saturday at 8
p.m. and a Moms Matinee Wednesdays at 11 a.m. For more information on
