5th Annual LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER: BOULDER Set for Unity of Boulder

Listen To Your Mother (LTYM) is a one-day live staged-reading event where local writers share their stories of the beauty and the beast that is motherhood. The 5th Annual Listen To Your Mother: Boulder will be held on Saturday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m. at Unity of Boulder, 2855 Folsom St, Boulder, CO 80304. Tickets are $20 and are available at listentoyourmothershow.com/boulder.

Listen To Your Mother: Boulder takes the audience on a well-crafted journey that celebrates and validates mothering by giving voice to motherhood-in all of its complexity, diversity, and humor-in the form of original readings performed live on-stage by their authors. LTYM Boulder is co-produced by Ellen Nordberg and Stephanie Sprenger.

Ellen's articles and essays have appeared in The Chicago Tribune, The Denver Post, 5280, The Huffington Post, Scary Mommy and on NPR. A sometime humor columnist for Colorado Babies and Boulder Lifestyle magazines, her essays have also won awards from the Colorado Author's League and the Boulder Writers' Workshop.

Stephanie's work has been published in Brain, Child Magazine, The Washington Post's On Parenting, Cosmopolitan.com, Redbook.com, the Huffington Post, and others. As co-editor of The HerStories Project, she has published four books, including So Glad They Told Me: Women Get Real About Motherhood.

Over 50 people signed up to audition, providing diverse and unique voices and a mix of humor and poignancy. This year's stories and poems are written and performed by Elizabeth Cook, Lisa Shearer Cooper, Carla Fisher, Stephanie Gates, Lynn Gottman, Bri Hill Kastner, Amy Muller, Kristina Newman, M. Regina Oakes, Aimie K. Runyan, Maura Weiler, and Eddie Young.
