Tami, is played with a double dose of courage, honestly, realism and sardonic humor by Kathy McCafferty. Kathy as Joshâs mom, not only keeps the play going she keeps the family and herself going, during some pretty uncomfortable situations.I canât remember the last time I was so filled with genuine feelings while watching actors on a stage. Because in my reality, they ceased to be actors, I was watching a real family.
