Maya Angelu as Lena Younger (Mama)

Maya Angelou is the perfect person to play the role of Lena Younger (Mama) as she’s in her 60’s and wise.  Maya is a wise woman who has lived through a lot in life and has survived, this is exactly how I see Mama’s life in this play.  Mama plays the sweet role with her grandson and at times with her son, daughter-in-law and daughter, yet at the same time, she’s been able to sustain much in life.  I see this life being what Maya Angelou has lived.
