Listen To Your Mother Show Comes to Milwaukee!

Niki Darlin' from our 2013 LTYM cast

The Listen To Your Mother Show is coming to Milwaukee for its 2nd annual show!

The year 2014 brings 32 cities to Listen To Your Mother nationwide in a celebration of Mother’s Day. Milwaukee auditions are now open for our April 27, 2014 show at Alverno College’s Wehr Hall. We invite you to submit your piece for LTYM/Milwaukee as we seek the poignant, the bittersweet, the funny, the visceral, the timeless, all the real moments that make up what the word mothering means to you.

You don’t have to be a mother, you just need to bring your 5-minute original story, on the theme of motherhood.

Listen To Your Mother Milwaukee seeks a diverse group of readers for our collective live presentation. We are looking for people of all ages, gender, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Whether you are a mother or aren’t, we encourage you to share your story, by appointment only  (details below) and present your original 5-minute piece.

*Auditions will be held at the Bay Shore Center Community Room at Bay Shore Mall, from 9:00AM to 7:00PM, on Saturday, February 22, or from 9:00AM to 7PM on Sunday, February 23.

To audition, here’s what you need to know:

1. Auditions are by appointment only (see details below). Time slots available are as listed above at Bayshore Center Community Room 5800 N. Bayshore Dr., Glendale, Wisc.
2. Please arrive ready to read, with three copies of a 3 to 5 minute prepared original work, on an aspect of motherhood.
