Coming Mother’s Day weekend, May 7-9, 2027!
From the original live-storytelling phenomenon that “Gave Motherhood A Microphone,” Ann Imig founded LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER with a show at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin, on Mother’s Day 2010. She and 11 other local writers read their original true stories of motherhood before an audience of 300 people.
This May, Monroe Theatre Guild is excited to produce LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER on Mother's Day weekend with YOUR voices in the spotlight! The goal of every LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER production is to take the audience on a well-crafted 90-minute journey of true stories about motherhood—being a mom, having a mom, losing a mom, finding a mom—as many interpretations on the theme of mothering as you can imagine. From hilarious and heartwarming, to emotionally intense and profound, LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER entertains, energizes, brings community together, and leaves everyone feeling a little less alone and a little more understood.
