What a night!

by Liz on May 13, 2013

Last Thursday night was AMAZING. So many incredible stories delivered with passion, humor and heart. Thank you to everyone who shared the experience with us!  We could gush on and on, but how about some words from the audience instead? A few things we heard after the show….

“I haven’t laughed or cried like that in SO LONG.”

“I just went to the restroom and emptied my pockets of seven…SEVEN!…wadded-up tissues.
The lady next to me had ten.”

“What a gift. A true gift.”

“Every single story was so unique, yet so universal…how did y’all do that??”

Well, we had help, that’s how. And there are many people to thank for bringing this show to life.

To our cast…thank you for trusting us, and the audience, with your rich, wonderful stories.

To our team…thank you to Blythe Jewell here in Austin, and everyone on the national team. Big thanks to founder Ann Imig, who we were honored to have in the audience.

To Trish Morrison…thank you for the advice and the listening ear.

To our LTYM Austin alumni…thank you for enthusiastically promoting the show and showing up to cheer us on. Special thanks to Susan Schorn and Catherine Berry for their steadiness during show night.

To our sponsors…thank you for seeing the value in our show and in the reach of our audience.

To the wonderful crew at the AT&T Conference Center…thank you for being such gracious hosts and making things easy for us.

To our photographer, Alison Eden…thank you for the beautiful photos. We can’t wait to share all of them!

To our beneficiary, St. Louise House…thank you for your inspiration. We hope our audience learns more about you and supports your valuable efforts.

We hope you were in the audience to experience the show…the laughter, the tears, the nods of recognition. If you missed it,  the videos will be on our YouTube channel sometime this summer. Stay tuned here for details.

Thank you again!

Cheers,
Liz and Wendi
