MAMA’S PUSHCART

A tribute to Ellen Stewart who, with virtually no resources, created the La Mama etc (Experimental Theater Company) theater in New York in 1961, where writers and actors such as Sam Shepard, Elizabeth Swados, and Harvey Fierstein found both encouragement and a home for their work. Includes original performance footage, interviews, and revelations by Stewart about her experiences as a "colored" working at Saks Fifth Avenue between 1950 and 1957
