Mother Sisters is a one-woman, docu-play starring Makaela Vogel as each of her
eight aunts, chronicling their unique experiences leaving home for the first time.
Through verbatim monologues drawn from interviews with each of her father’s
sisters, Vogel captures defining coming-of-age moments that shaped their lives and
identities, offering a poignant reflection on the transformative power of sisterhood
and the challenges women faced navigating the world in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Intimate
and evocative, Mother Sisters celebrates female voices, family legacy, and the
enduring connections that define who we are.

Makaela Vogel is a Los Angeles based writer and actress who was created in the

with the intention to honor the women on the paternal side of her family and the
generations of women who came before her that made her first breath possible.
She is a proud member of Echo Theater Company.
