I think I way be developing a cold, cold heart.  After watching The Notebook and feeling less then moved at the conclusion and now leaving the theatre of Mary Jane with the same blank feeling I am worried.  The play Mary Jane tells the story of Mary Jane as she struggles through the mundane and unimaginable struggles of a mother caring for her chronically ill son, Alex.  Along the way she is helped by a community of women from many walks of life including her building superintendent, visiting nurse, attending physical, fellow grieving patient – and even a music therapist.
