Listen to Your Mother




Last year I heard a lot of buzz about a show called Listen to Your Mother.  Some of my favorite bloggers participated in "giving Mother's Day a microphone." I didn't attend, but I checked out performance after performance online.

I submitted this year. It sounded so cool that I submitted two different essays to two different cities.  I haven't heard about the Oklahoma City show yet, but...

Guess who has a callback to the NW Arkansas show on Saturday? 

That's right.

Me.

I'm so excited to make the first cut.  It seems like a great opportunity to grab your favorite ladies and enjoy a night out.

Check out the website for a show near you.

Or in stolen moments, check out past performances here

Hopefully, I'll be able to share my story, too.

    1. Thank you, Heather. I'm glad they're on different dates. We can go to the one in Oklahoma City at the beginning of May and the one in Fayetteville at the end of May. Those directors/producers are smart cookies.;)

    1. Aw, thank you, Jennifer. I sent the piece you recommended to OKC. I sent a completely different essay to Arkansas. Here's hoping I can get my directionally challenged self to the audition on time!

    1. The site is kind of tricky. You have to click a box on the right for specific times. I think this would be a perfect show for your girls and girlfriends, Lisa!
