Moms Mabley: The Naked Truth

​

“Moms Mabley: The Naked Truth” began in 1999 as a pre-season co-production between Buku Productions Theatre Company and Detroit Repertory Theatre.  The one-woman show, starring Linda Boston as “Moms,” was a complete 100% sold-out production. This revealing and hilarious look into the professional and personal life of Loretta Mary Aiken, better known as “Moms” Mabley, brought about side-splitting laughter as well as tears. Moms’ first cousin and 25 other members of her family attended a Detroit Rep performance of “The Naked Truth” and, thank goodness, they absolutely loved it!  Most of the Aiken/Hall family members who attended that show are spotlighted in a group pic featured in our photo gallery below the video excerpts.
