NEW MILFORD, Conn.—The Merryall Center will present “Expressing Motherhood” on Friday, Oct. 4, at 5:30 p.m., featuring a cast of word artists for an evening of poetry, prose and song.
“Expressing Motherhood” is a gathering of voices and stories all about the journey of motherhood.
Since 2008, “Expressing Motherhood” has showcased women and men sharing their personal stories on stage. The production began in Los Angeles when two mothers set out to bring authentic stories of motherhood to the stage.
Since then the show has traveled to Off-Off-Broadway in New York City and across the country from Boston to Tacoma.
The Merryall Center is to be its next stop in bringing the stories to its stage for the Litchfield County community. Through spoken word, monologue, and music, it offers a heartfelt look at all the nuances and experiences that are forever attached to motherhood.
Tickets to the event at the 8 Chapel Hill Road venue are $20 and are available at www.merryallcenter.org.
Founded in 1951, the Merryall Center is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to presenting live music, theater, art, and cultural programming to the Northwest Corner of Connecticut.
