(
www.listentoyourmothershow.com).
Auditions for Listen to Your Mother are open to EVERYONE (Men, women,
children, parents & non-parents), all ages & ethnicities are
encouraged to audition. In this show, the writers are the performers;
so writers should come prepared to read aloud their own original 3-5

motherhood. Auditions will be held by appointment only on Saturday,
March 1, 10 am - 5 pm, Sunday March 2, 10 am - 6 pm, and Monday March
3, 5 pm - 10 pm. To schedule an appointment, please send an email to
LTYMNJ@gmail.com with the word AUDITION in the subject line, and
include name and audition time availability. Auditions will be
distributed on a first come/first serve basis. Audition and venue
information will be emailed with audition time confirmation.
Commitment includes two rehearsals in the spring (TBD) and a pre-show
run-through on
May 10. No professional writing or stage experience required. The
Listen to Your Mother, North Jersey Show will be held on May 10th at
5:00 PM at The South Orange Performing Arts Center.

Listen to Your Mother is a national series of original live readings
about motherhood. (
www.listentoyourmothershow.com) The mission of each
Listen to Your Mother production is to take the audience on a
well-crafted journey that celebrates and validates mothering through
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.
Listen to Your Mother aims to support motherhood creatively through
artistic expression, and also financially, through contributions to
non-profit organizations supporting families in need. The North Jersey
show will be donating a % of ticket proceeds to NJCW, an Essex County
Non-Profit dedicated to helping women and children in need in Essex
County.
