The Visual Telling

by Judy on May 8, 2013

Here we are, almost a week out from an almost a completely sold-out show, and I, almost,have my feet back on the ground. Michelle is in the same state of mind. We can now have coherent conversations once again. Thursday night after the show and the days following? Not so much.

Michelle and I were (and still are!) euphoric and oh-so-proud of our cast—Amber, Amy,  Amy, Bonnie, Danielle, Heather, Hillary, Katrina, Liza, Natalie, Rachel, Robyn, Michelle, and myself—and how brave they were, how they fought through nerves, how they connected with each other and our amazing and supportive audience who was with us during every single word.

Here is a very brief pictorial “storybook” (in no particular order) of our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious story telling evening—leading up to, during and afterwards. We’re sorry if you missed LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER INDIANAPOLIS because it was simply…

 MAGICAL!!

Cast Spotlight: Heather Sokol

May 1, 2013

Today we introduce the last of our cast members—engaging and open Heather Sokol. Heather blogs at Just Heather, and you can follow her @JustHeather. Get your tickets NOW to see Heather and the rest of Indianapolis’ AMAZING Listen to Your Mother Cast! The magic begins at 7pm TOMORROW! Why did you audition for Listen To Your Mother?  I watched with envy as my blog friends in the Chicago area had the chance to give motherhood a voice. When I heard Michelle and Judy were bringing the microphone to Indianapolis, I had to have a piece of that action. A stage, a microphone, and five minutes to talk about what it’s really like to be a mom? Sign me up! What does your day-to-day life look like?  Wake up grudgingly, drive kids to Montessori school, drive the teen far, far away to her charter school, and come home. Nap, work, and laundry. Pick up the [...]

Cast Spotlight: Liza Hyatt

April 26, 2013

Liza Hyatt is the second of two poets in our Listen to Your Mother Indianapolis cast. Michelle and I were in awe during her audition. Liza’s book of poems, Under My Skin, was published in 2012. She writes about art and healing at Art Therapy with Liza: Imagination’s Journey into Self and World. You’re going to love her poetry on May 2nd. Get your tickets. Why did you audition for Listen to Your Mother?   I was included in a group email sent out by a poet friend of mine with information about the LTYM event. The email came to me about a week after my mother’s unexpected death. I felt being part of the program by sharing some of the about 80 pages of poetry I’ve written about my mother –who was also a writer—would be a wonderful way to celebrate my mother’s life.

One Week Away!

April 25, 2013

We are only one week, ONE WEEK (!!!), away from the debut of Listen to Your Mother in Indianapolis. Our PR “machine” continues to churn. Big time. Michelle and I had the opportunity yesterday morning to grace FOX 59’s very bright, very orange couch and chat with lovely morning anchor Angela Ganote. (And, yes, she is as adorable/attractive/perky/professional in person as on TV.) Tickets are selling like hotcakes, and many of us have had a dream: the show has sold out… We hope it does. We hope to be reading our stories to a packed house Thursday evening. Will you be in the audience as we give motherhood the microphone? We hope so! Tickets can be purchased here. Tweet
