Motherhood’s boiling point

Writer, satirist, public radio commentator and performer Sandra Tsing Loh, whose off-Broadway solo shows have included “Bad Sex With Bud Kemp” and “Aliens,” premieres her newest solo show. In “Mother on Fire,” directed by David Schweizer with Bart DeLorenzo, Loh draws on her adventures in parenting to explore motherhood amid the chaos of an inflated housing market, peanut allergies and the chain-link-fenced world of public schools. Loh is donating her proceeds to public schools.
