Hi, friends!  I've been doing much work behind the scenes for Listen to Your Mother.  

I'm our local director and producer this year and it's in honor to walk

through this process.  I'm really getting excited for the show!  

Listen to Your Mother [LTYM] is a live production that features local writers 

reading their original works on motherhood.  The productions of all 24 cities 

across the country will be professionally recorded and broadcast to a global 

audience on LTYM’s YouTube channel.

 I'm currently seeking writers in the Northwest Indiana area to audition for our

3rd annual live show celebrating motherhood.  The show will take place 

Friday, May 10th, 2013 at 7pm at the historic Memorial Opera House.

audition including moms, husbands, grandmothers, grandfathers, dads, teens, 

adoptive moms, first moms, desperately-desire-to-be-a mom & anyone with a 

mother–so many of us have motherhood stories to share!

Your stories–the hilarious, the heart breaking and the heart warming–are what make this
