Second Rehearsal for LTYM Boulder 2023

With just ten days until showtime, excitement is in the air! We had an absolutely dynamic second rehearsal last night at the headquarters for A Precious Child. The fantastic women in this show gave their all when reading their pieces, and we know the live show will be even more emotional, entertaining, hilarious, and powerful.

We are so looking forward to being together, laughing, crying, and celebrating the power of sharing stories and coming together in community. Plus, it’s an evening out at the historic and fabulous Boulder Theater, and isn’t a memorable night out with girlfriends, mothers, sisters, or partners what every woman really wants for Mother’s Day? (Brunch and flowers are great, too, but. . . )

We know Mother’s Day is a complicated season for many people, and we would like to re-emphasize that Listen To Your Mother brings to light a nuanced perspective on the diversity of the motherhood experience, rather than glorifying motherhood and celebrating all that is wonderful about it (though there is some of that, too!). This year’s show highlights the complexity of the mother-daughter experience, features a wide variety of childhood and parenting experiences, and showcases the absurdity, struggles, and hilarity of family life. Above all, LTYM gives us an opportunity to come together and share the universal themes of family and motherhood—the good, the bad, the ugly and sometimes painful—that remind us of how much we really are connected.

Here are some fun behind-the-scenes pictures from our rehearsal last night! (We are missing a few of our beloved cast members in this photo, but they’ll be there for show night! ????)

We figured out how to use an iPhone camera timer! ????
