First rehearsal!

First Rehearsal for LTYM Boulder 2016!

by stephaniesprenger on March 29, 2016

To say our production team had been looking forward to last night is an understatement. Earlier this month we put together our cast after a powerful audition process, and ever since then we’ve been eagerly anticipating that magic moment (and believe me, it is magic) when the cast meets for the first time and hears one another’s stories. There’s just nothing like it.

There’s laughter (a lot of laughter), tears, and the waves of “me, too!” head-nodding around the table, just like there will be at the show, but it’s different during this first read-through. The synergy and connection that happens when a Listen To Your Mother cast gathers for the first time and witnesses the powerful words of their cast mates is something special, and we as a production team were so honored to be part of it.

We had the pleasure of watching our talented, unique cast share their stories with each other for the first time, and now we absolutely can’t wait for them to share them with YOU for the first time! You’ll hear unforgettable stories ranging from pregnancy to an empty nest, from postpartum challenges to special needs parenting, and from WWII travel adventures to the complexity of the mother-daughter relationship. We aren’t exaggerating when we say: you don’t want to miss this show. So don’t wait any longer and get your tickets now— our April 30th show is right around the corner and will be here before you know it!

See you at Unity of Boulder on Saturday, April 30th at 7:00 pm!

Poetry Reading on June 6

I will be part of a three-author poetry reading at The Book Haven in Salida on June 6. It is also Dies Librorum, their celebration of the bookstore’s 10th anniversary!   From 5-6, there is a Rapid Fire Salute to the Written Word. Every participant will have 1 minute to read a favorite passage from their own writing or any other author/poet.

The actual Dies Librorum will begin at 6:30, with more music, food and wine. Each author will present their poetry for 20 minutes beginning at 7:00 p.m.
