I can’t believe it has been a whole five days since Listen to Your Mother was performed in New York City on Sunday afternoon, May 6th.

Producing and reading in it has been a highlight of my life and career. The first major non-child related thing I have done in ten long years. (Yes, I wrote about that process for the NY Times Motherlode Blog here: A ‘Sandwich Generation’ Caregiver Heads Back to Work.)  And while there is a long post about all that the show was, and meant to me, that is still swirling around in my brain, it has yet to appear on my blog. I’m a ruminator, a processor. It will take about another week.

But, luckily for you, many other blogging cast and crew members are MUCH quicker on the draw, and you should go read their marvelous reflections on the show:

Our Director, Amy Wilson, who blogs at When Did I Get Like This was, like me, so sad the show was over, but also changed by it forever. She shared Listen To Your Mother, and change her life

Holly Rosen Fink, The Culture Mom and Associate Producer Extraordinaire, without whom we could not have carried on, wrote: LTYM NYC 2012: All This and So Much More

Upside Down cast member Patty Chang Anker, who started the ball rolling on Sunday, wrote: Listen to Your Mother Show – Backstage, Onstage, the World’s a Stage!

Cast member Deborah Goldstein of Peaches & Coconuts not only wrote a very funny treatise on what to wear – or not – anticipating the show  (Listening is fashion forward) but also this wonderful, comprehensive recap post: Listen to this mother

Kirsten Piccini, our sole blonde cast member (yes, this is NYC, we were a rather ethnic bunch) wrote this on her blog, The Kir Corner: A Time to Speak, A Time to Listen…My Lorax Moment

Cast member Una LaMarche shared her delightfully funny take on the proceedings at The Sassy Curmudgeon (while confessing that she loved everyone in the cast so much she would need to change the blog name to the “The Sappy Curmudgeon” if she didn’t stop gushing) here: The Sassy Curmudgeon: All About My (Listen To Your) Mother

Return-to-Work Mom Kate Mayer, true to form, managed to be both touching and hysterically funny in her post: Scared Famous

Cast member Ilana Wiles, she of Mommy Shorts, also the found humor in the day and shared with us her Big Pee-free Moment

Jonny Schremmer posted her reflections of the day, including a wonderful drawing by her husband here: Listen to Your Mother

And Estelle Sobel Erasmus?  She shared her Musings (on Motherhood, Mid-Life and Other Forms of Madness) of the day in rhyme (amazing): Listen to Your Mother-It’s a (W)Rap

And while Associate Producer Betsy Cadel of Gray Matter Matters won’t be writing a post-show wrap-up post, since she wasn’t actually AT the show (in Miami for Mom 2.0, don’t feel too sorry for her) you may want to check out her deep thoughts about sharing, from just beforehand… Would you ever tell the whole story?

ENJOY!
