It doesn't look like Kyoko's mother is an actress. From the panel it looks like she's there as a lawyer supervisor, or as a reference for the actors playing the lawyers, so I would assume she is a lawyer or something along those lines.
That's how I read it. From my understanding, it seemed like Moko-san was surprised such a young actor was chosen to play a difficult role as a cunning lawyer, and she even went as far to think that he would need a lawyer who fits the role to supervise. Kyoko's mom appears to be in that supervising role to make the acting be as believable as possible.
A lawyer seems to fit all the information we currently have of Kyoko's mom from earlier in the series. Even though she's only playing a small role as a supervisor to an actor, we all know she's going to play a bigger role in the coming chapters of the manga. The most recent chapter seems to point out that she's a "cunning and resourceful" lawyer, so I'm predicting we'll be seeing that side of her shortly. I'm assuming she does know that Kyoko is an actress because that just seems like something a lawyer would know about her daughter (even if she abandoned her).
Would it be possible that Shou has come to warn Kyoko about her mother? I doubt it, but just a thought.
I'm interested to see how Ren gets caught up in this upcoming mess with Shou & then Kyoko's mother both making appearances.
