Yay!!I can make it public!!
I was just informed that I am one of eleven casted to be a part of a national campaign entitled, Listen To Your Mother. I hope you will join me and the amazing cast on Sunday, April 24th from 2-4 pm at The Steel Stacks. It's a ONE day only performance in which cast members tell stories of motherhood. Happy moments, sad moments, life-changing moments, raising kids, dealing with death, autism, bathrooms and barf...you name it. At least 10% of the proceeds will be dontated locally to The Third Street Alliance right here in Easton, PA!
Last year I had the honor of shooting the event. After hearing all the stories (and while tearing up behind my camera), I thought I'd give it a try and audition this year.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of my moms passing, and my story, "Hollow" will finally be told. I could not more humbled and honored to share my story with you! The show will be one of 41 cities across the country and through these shows over 450 stories about motherhood will be shared this year.
From the Steel Stack Site:
Listen To Your Mother (LTYM) is a national series of live readings by local writers in celebration of Mother’s Day. Each production is directed, produced, and performed by local communities, for local communities.
Each LTYM show donates a minimum of 10% of ticket proceeds to local causes. The second annual Lehigh Valley show will benefit Third Street Alliance for Women and Children in Easton.
What started as a single LTYM show in Madison, Wisconsin in 2010 has grown into a coast-to-coast phenomenon, with 41 cities participating in 2016 (including our first Canadian show!). Our anthology, Listen To Your Mother: What She Said Then, What We’re Saying Now, was published last spring by Putnam Books.
Recommended for ages 13+. Performance lasts 90 minutes without intermission.
Check out this VIDEO to see what it's all about.
So bring your lady friends, your husband, wives, kids and make it a day out for a pre-Mother's Day celebration! Stay tuned for ticket information!
This one's for you momma!!! xo
