listen to your mother

MentalEdgers, you are about to be blessed with the presence of two exrodinary women. It takes a special gift and courage to put your story down on paper and bravely share it with the rest of the world.

The only thing more amazing and courageous is to stand on the stage of a beautiful auditorium in front of eager listeners and read it aloud to a full house. That's what Britany Miller Dawson and Jamie El-Talabani are just about to do.

The "Listen To Your Mother Event" is a charitable artistic event whose proceeds benefit St. Jude House. But guess what ....the charitable giving doesn't stop there because everybody in the house gets blessed by the Authors as they read their personal pieces.

There are two show this year. One at the incredible Hoosier Theater in Whiting on April 30th at 7pm. and the second show will be held at Hobart's Historic Art Theater May 1st at 3pm.

Both shows are being seamlessly organized by Event Director Carrie Bedwell

So get to click'n and give a listen, then hop on over to Facebook to look up the event and get some tickets.

Ann Imig tells a witty story about being a full time stay at home mom with two young and energetic boys. We talked about her experience founding Listen To Your Mother (which originated in Madison and became a national storytelling event) and what it was like to pull together this annual show. We also discussed the problem of not being able to include everyone who auditioned to tell their story.

We listen to a story Ann Imig told at Listen To Your Mother in 2012, explore the themes in the story and discuss how she crafted the story. (Audio recording by Listen To Your Mother.)
