I fell in love with theatre at a very young age.  My mother used to take me to see productions at the Civic Center in Atlanta, GA, where I grew up.  We saw "Annie".  We saw "Oklahoma".  We saw "Annie Get Your Gun".  I loved and watched everything about these productions - the actors, the sets, the lighting, the costumes.

LIsten to Your Mother

Listen to Your Mother Coming to a Town Near You

listen to your mother

About a year ago, I was surfing the internet and came across a show called Listen to Your Mother.  I was immediately intrigued.  As a social media marketer who lives and breathes NYC theater, I wanted to be a part of it.  Here was a show that merged two worlds I care most about.  Created by humorist Ann Imig of Ann’s Rants, the show was a “live reading by local writers on the beauty, the beast, and the barely-rested of motherhood.” It was amazing, and I was intrigued.  I made sure that before BlogHer ended, where I finally came face to face … [Read more...]
