"Expressing Motherhood"

Hi there again,
Yup, it's been at least 2 weeks if not longer since I last posted something..sorry, keeping up will be my struggle! Well, let's be honest I'd rather write something with substance then chatter on about nothing. So, that was the build-up for the following "substance"...
If you haven't yet heard about "Expressing Motherhood", please check out the website. www.expressingmotherhood.com It is a stage show, very similar to "The Vagina Monologues", in ideology, where it is a traveling show put on in different cities with a different cast in each stop. The stories are real, the Moms are local and the show has been quite a hit in LA, Chicago, NY and AZ, now making their way to the "North Country" of Boston, MA! So, one of "my mommas" from NiNi Bambini was the Boston producers college roommate. When she realized she was coming to Boston, she called this Momma and asked where she could reach out to local Moms with a story? She immediately said, "I have a whole collections of Moms within arms reach that I am sure would be interested!", thank-you NiNi Bambini! After checking out the shows' concept, I figured I might try to submit a script. (NOTE: I am NOT a writer, but the stage is my HOME!) Some of you might be familiar with the idea that I LOVE to tell a story, and the idea of telling a story that is important to me, to an audience of other Moms is right up my alley! It took me 3 weeks to write, and when I submitted it, I got an email back within hours that came from the director, saying she was interested in my script, but it had to be a little more singularly focused...she said she found the first part of my story, which revolved around conception sex and trying to have a baby, very good...so could I extrapolate on the conception sex part?! OK, for those of you that don't know, Zac and I struggled to conceive. And honestly the idea of creating humor around our sex life (not the hard part), while trying to conceive and then sprinkle in the poignant and heart breaking element of multiple miscarriages...kinda tough. I could do this, right? Even though I am not a writer, I am an actress, whatever I wrote I knew I could make it funny, that all comes with the delivery and the ability to believe what I was trying to explain. I LOVE to make people laugh, that is what I think I was made for, but this topic is almost off limits, right? What if there is someone that can't yet find humor in their struggle? I didn't want to make a mockery of infertility, but I want people to see, you can come out on the other end and still laugh, and find strength in the journey and even appreciate the struggle for what it can give back to you, and what it can teach you about your relationship and certainly about your sex life! I don't know, I feel like I wrote it super fast but I had it submitted by the deadline, and who knows maybe that director has an open sense of humor, and an interest in allowing people to see vulnerability mixed with grotesque sex talk and the fight to create a family. Maybe I will post it next...you all know how I feel about feedback, right? I love it, as long as it loves me! Kidding, be honest an open or people like me won't grow! Thanks for reading! xoxo ~MWAH~
