Listen to Your Mother: the Magic of First Rehearsal

listen-to-your-mother-first-rehearsal-01There is a special kind of magic every time that a Listen To Your Mother cast gathers for the first time to meet and hear each other’s stories. People often come in excited, nervous and unsure about what they’ve gotten themselves into. One by one the stories are spoken from each cast member’s lips about their personal journey and suddenly we are all connected–connected by this beautiful, hard, rewarding, heart-wrenching thing that is motherhood.

We leave freshly remembering just how much we are alike and how beautiful our differences can be too. We leave with a re-awakened appreciation for this art of mothering. I’m in awe of the stories that will be told on Thursday, May 8th at 7pm at Memorial Opera House in Valparaiso. Really. Grab your friends and get your tickets before they are gone. It’s going to be a great night of tears and laughter!
