Something for Mom and More at the Athenaeum!

Listen To Your Mother (LTYM) is a national series of live readings by local writers in celebration of Mother’s Day. Each production is directed, produced, and performed by local communities, for local communities.

Each LTYM show donates a minimum of 10% of ticket proceeds to local causes. The fifth annual Chicago show will benefit Mujeres Latinas en Acción, a nonprofit organization that empowers Latinas by providing services that reflect their values and culture, and by being an advocate on the issues that make a difference in their lives.
La Calisto, presented by Haymarket Opera,  spices up Ovid’s Metamorphoses myth of Jove’s love for the beautiful nymph Calisto, a follower of the chaste goddess Diana. Faustini’s libretto weaves in hilarious subplots which inspired some of Cavalli’s most lyrical and inventive music, as Calisto refuses Jove in his manly appearance, but succumbs to his wooing after he disguises himself as Diana. When Jove’s wife Juno learns of his trickery and their affair, she punishes Calisto by turning her into a bear. May 6 & 8 (Mother's Day)
We have two outstanding Joseph Jefferson Awards recommended shows running through May.
