Listen to Your Mother is a celebration of motherhood that’s more than chocolate and flowers. \u00a0It’s a performance of real men and women reading short essays they’ve authored on all things related to motherhood. \u00a0This year only 39 cities have been selected to create their own performance, and Rochester is one of them.<\/p>\n

Rochester’s debut is on Friday, May 8th at 7 pm at the Memorial Art Gallery and you can purchase your tickets by clicking here<\/a>. \u00a0The cost is $17 per ticket which supports two local charities: the Society for the Protection and Care of\u00a0Children<\/a> and Parenting Village<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Monica, one of the producers, told me I was the very first sponsor – who knew! \u00a0So I recently had\u00a0the privilege of attending the first read through. \u00a0I had read the book<\/a> and I wasn’t a huge fan and I have a short attention span so I wasn’t sure how the read through would turn out. \u00a0I was floored. \u00a0What an incredible diversity of stories and individuals all with something interesting and unique to say about motherhood. \u00a0I thought it might drag, but it felt like it was over before it started. \u00a0I wished there was more.<\/p>\n
