What The Madison Auditions Were Like - Listen To Your Mother Show

 I am blessed with knowing such wonderful people. Not lucky, but blessed.

This past Saturday, I auditioned for the Listen To Your Mother Show in Madison.

So many wonderful people stopped here the day before and voted on the perfect "confidence" reading outfit for me to wear that day.

The wonderful people I know have been sincerely asking how my audition went for the Listen To Your Mother Show in Madison.

I can only speak my side: for me, it was a dream come true and like I was living someone else's life. It was something I never would have done in my lifetime. But Ann Imig, the National Director and creator of the Listen To Your Mother Show, made this dream real. For me, just being able to pay homage to my grandmother, in the form of a public reading, was--and always will be--enough.

I had the unicorns and sparkly rainbows easy part.

Ann writes an illuminating account of what the the auditions were like, for her, as Director, and for Darcy, the stage manager. You'll want to read this POV in her post here.

For me, here's what I take away: 

Ann Imig (on the right)  and me

Darcy (on the left) and yours truly

Joy (on the left) and Kindness (to the right)

There are Listen To Your Mother Shows in Austin, L.A., Valparaiso, and Spokane.  I hope you take the chance that I did, and see what it's like to step into something you never dreamed for yourself.

You see the smile on my face, don't you?

Good luck to all who auditioned for the show in Madison!
