Mothers Acting Up, in partnership with The School of Arts at Colorado State University/Ft. Collins and Philanthropiece, hosts the (M)other Tour, a one of a kind theatrical performance and workshop that creates a global community of mothers moving from concern to action on behalf of the world’s children. The centerpiece... of the (M)other Tour is a one-woman show accompanied by a workshop that uses theatre to empower mother voices to effectively advocate for issues impacting children, women and communities.

The performance explores what it might take for the mothers of one country to authentically care about the mothers and children of another country. The show’s opening describes a fictional program, called “Baby Swapping,” created by the United Nations to generate concern for the world’s children. In this small, limited pilot program, seven mothers from seven nations from around the world are required by their governments to swap their six-month-old babies with another mother from another nation for one month. What follows is an intimate look at one of these mother’s experiences and her eventual realization of her interconnectedness with these other mothers, their children, and their nations.

The workshop, Empowering Mother Voices, asks mothers to identify their most passionate concern for children and helps them gain skills, confidence and practice declaring this concern. The workshop leads each mother to her own brand of leadership in creating a world in which children’s needs are prioritized and their rights protected.

The workshop will be held on Friday, October 9 at the Studio Theatre also in the University Arts Center at 10am. The workshop is free, however registration is required, please call 970.491.5562 to reserve your space.

(M)other will be performed on Friday, October 9 at the University Theatre at 8pm. This performance is also free.
