MEET HALEY!
She has been producing and directing Listen To Your Mother – Indy since 2019.
2024 will be her 6th year raising money for a local charity.
WHAT IS LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER?
A storytelling phenomenon that gives motherhood a microphone.
The goal of every LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER production is to take the audience on a well-crafted 90-minute journey of diverse 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.
Sounds about perfect?
