We are so grateful to First Congregational Church in Boulder for providing a location for our rehearsal, and for sponsor Jessey Smithwick of The Wellbeing Path for being our photographer! LTYM is about the power of storytelling and sharing pieces of ourselves: our physical and mental health, family bonds, cringe-worthy memories, our identities, and the vulnerability that makes us human. Huge thanks to our hyper local sponsors: The Sage Birth and Wellness Collective, Postpartum Wellness Center, Birth Center of Boulder, J Lounge Spa, Catherine Davis Allstate Agency, JJ Wells Clothing, Sassafras Photography, The Dova Center, KAT Power Women’s Self-Defense, Mountain Kids Louisville, The Margaret L. Shaw Institute for Perinatal Mental Health, Junkyard Ink, Shredder Urban Ski and Snowboard Park, The Wellbeing Path, Boulder Blooms, Pompadours, and Ladder Creative. They offer the community so much, including gorgeous clothing, empowering self-defense programs, original, artistic tattoos, web design, mental health services, body and energy work, gymnastics and indoor ski/snowboard classes for kids, relaxing spa services, and more.

And now we’re delighted to introduce you to the 2019 LTYM Boulder sponsors: We are so thrilled to partner with The Sage Birth & Wellness Collective for the first time! Sage Birth & Wellness Collective is a network of birth and women’s health professionals who focus on women’s health and wellness throughout the continuum of our lives, focusing on our specific needs pre-conception, birth, postpartum, pre-menopause and menopause. The Dova Center for Health and Healing in Louisville, CO is a one-stop Holistic Medical Health Center that offers premier care in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Injection Therapy, B12 Shots, Medical Foot Soaks, Cupping, Medicinal Tea Elixirs, Infrared Sauna Therapy, Meditation Classes, and Therapeutic Massages. The Shaw Institute improves the mental health and well-being of mothers and their families by offering early mental health assessment and ongoing support to mothers and their families, and by providing expert training and mentorship to mental health professionals.

This fantastic local organization provides basic essentials to children and families in need, including clothes, shoes, coats, scholarships for sports, arts and education, birthday and holiday gifts, new backpacks filed with school supplies and more. A Precious Child provides children in need with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential and envisions a future where every child grows up to be a secure, self-reliant, contributing member of their community. We are so proud to be partnering with them; we were able to see firsthand the incredible work they are doing in our community when we met at the resource center for our read-through last month. We are so thrilled to be partnering with APC as our local charity, and we are grateful to our audience for helping us to make another donation this year; every ticket we sell help to support their wonderful work for families in our community!

The cast of Listen To Your Mother Boulder 2019 met for our first rehearsal last week, and year after year, I always confess that I love the first read-through almost as much as I love the show itself. From crazy morning routines to soccer carpools gone wrong, from the joys and woes of parenting young kids to the uniquely complex mother-daughter relationship, from aging parents to the pangs of raising growing and grown-up children, this year’s show will take you on a journey you won’t forget.
