Meet the cast–Kerry!

by Lovelyn on May 9, 2013

Today, I’d like to introduce you to Kerry Rossow.  Kerry was in Haiti during our first rehearsal, so if you’re super sleuth-like, you’ll notice that she’s the only one not in our cast collage here. I’m so thankful for her fun, light-hearted personality and hope you’ll join us and have her piece pull at your heart strings, too!

What led you to audition for Listen to Your Mother? 

I was hooked on LTYM from the very first clip I watched! I loved the premise of “Giving Mother’s Day A Microphone” and couldn’t wait to buy tickets for a show!

When I discovered that my pal, Nicole Shaw was auditioning for the NWI show, “Buying tickets” quickly evolved into “Wait for me! I want to audition, too!” The icing on the cake was getting to meet the entire cast of amazing women!

 Tell us a little about your everyday life.  

I am a recovering teacher that decided to stay home, wrangle my four children and give writing/blogging/photography a go! In between laundry, dishes, sporting events, and carpooling, I spend my days in my neighborhood mom office, aka The Mom Office, with other moms that work from home.

Where can we find you writing?

Everyday, I write on sticky notes. I write schedules for the day to place on my steering wheel, I write reminders to wear deodorant on my bathroom mirror and affirmations like “don’t be a jerk out there!” on my door!

I write about all things houses at my blog, HouseTalkN.  I am also a weekly contributor for In The Powder Room where I write about life shenanigans.

Collaborating with other funny writers has been so rewarding- I was thrilled to be a contributor to this year’s best selling book,  I Just Want To Pee Alone.

 What is your favorite quote? 

I have some fancy quotes that I should wow you with but the 3 quotes that go through my head everyday are:

“Go big or go home.”

“Leap and the net will appear.”

“Be nice. Just do it.”

 When do you first remember loving words? 

I come from a long line of embellishers and storytellers. Some of my favorite memories are of watching family members tell and retell stories. Growing up in a large family, I knew from a young age that your story better be loud, better be funny and better be embellished.

What are 4 things you can’t live without?

That’s convenient- my four children! Although, if I roll them into one slot, I could add chocolate, coffee and my husband! Not necessarily in that order!

 What is your all time favorite book?

To Kill a Mockingbird. I just reread it with my 13 year old son. Reading it as a parent and reading it with my child, I fell in love all over, again.

My last update was that there were just a few handfuls of tickets left for tomorrow!  Hurry and get yours now!

Meet the cast–Audrey!

May 7, 2013

Audrey Krooswyk has to be one of the most hard-working, yet continuously funny & positive people that I have ever met.  She’s been a joy to have as part of the cast.  Please meet Audrey: What led you to audition for Listen to Your Mother?  I saw the show two years ago and was just mesmerized. A collection of 12 beautiful takes on motherhood all read aloud live? So moving. I love to write and kept telling myself that someday I would try. My dad passed away two days before the auditions and I could hear him telling me to do it – that he believed in me. I knew I would kick myself if I had looked back and never even tried! Tell us a little about your everyday life.   CRAZY!! I am a mother of three children under 5, a full time nursing school student, a wife, and a youth [...]
