Questionable Choices in Parenting

Laughing at life as a parent so they don't commit me

Are you ready to Listen to Your Mother?

by

If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, you probably know that I am madly in love with a little show called Listen to Your Mother. During the 2014 season, I was thrilled to be a part of the Washington DC cast and share my story “Emergency Mom” with the world. Did you miss it? Oh wait, here it is again:

After being a part of Listen to Your Mother, I knew that such a powerful and meaningful show needed to be brought to my hometown of Pittsburgh. Even though I haven’t lived there in over ten years, I still identify Pittsburgh as my home and love and adore everything that fabulous city has to offer.

When my blogging buddies Jennifer, Stephanie and I got the word we were going to bring Listen to Your Mother to the ‘Burgh we all did a ridiculous happy dance, cried a little, and then rolled up our sleeves because we were ready to work!

So where does this journey start? First up, auditions!

We are opening up spots for auditions, and if you live in the Pittsburgh or surrounding areas (WV,MD, OH), we want YOU to tell your story!

Listen to Your Mother is searching for men and women to share their stories about motherhood. You don’t have to be a mother, just have a story about motherhood. Even if you aren’t a professional writer or have any stage experience, don’t worry! Most cast members are in the same boat. Pieces are around 5 minutes long and  read, not memorized. So don’t worry!  It’s nothing like the stressful days of high school giving presentations in front of the class.

LTYM story

We are looking for stories that make us laugh and cry. We want stories of the good, the bad, the really bad, and the magical parts of motherhood. We want to hear about your mother, why you became a mother, why you never want to be a mother, who is the mother figure in your life. We want to hear it all so that we can give a broad perspective of motherhood that can be woven into one phenomenon show. We want your stories and we want to give you a microphone.

  1. I thought about trying out for the Boston show last year, but the show was the day I was leaving for San Diego and vacation always comes first.

  2. I’m ready! I’m ready! And dammit–I forgot about that picture of the three of us. Coulda used that bad boy!!

    You know I’m already in love with your face–can’t wait to do this together!

  4. I have come to learn the hard way that you should ALWAYS listen to your mother. As annoying as it is, she’s generally correct.

  9. Sounds like you are going to have a great time. I think it is always a good idea to listen to mom. Now I just need my 18 year old son to figure that out.

  10. I have such stage fright, I am not sure I could share my stories in front of an audience, but it sounds like a great even to attend! Now, if only I could get my kids to realize that I am always right 😉

  12. Sounds like a lot of fun! I have a friend who would probably love to audition. Sending her this post!

  21. Not a mommy yet so I can’t participate but this looks fun! So I see they are coming to Atlanta on the 1st thats pretty cool!
