Calling all stepladies or soon-to-be stepladies...Interested in starring in your own Stepmama Drama?
Pie Town Productions, a Los Angeles television production company is currently searching for families to potentially feature in a docu-drama (i.e. reality TV show). They are in the process of developing a positive, upbeat show (think: “Jon and Kate Plus Eight”).
They are looking for LIVELY families with funny stories, big emotion, and great personalities. Multiple children not necessary, but preferred. The more the merrier! They are specifically looking for childless women who have recently married (or will soon marry) a divorced man with kids.
I have personally passed on the opportunity because A) I mumble (not quite as bad as Ozzy Osbourne, but close and how many more reality shows do we need with a lead mumbler?), B) I have a strict rule to stay behind the camera and not in front of it and C) The Young One would be a royal stage hog and The Tall One would probably stay locked in his room until the show wrapped.
If you are interested, please email Ally Weinberg with your contact information and your story. Please send responses to: Reality_Casting@pietown.tv To learn more about the company visit their site at: http://www.pietown.tv

What fun!!! I’m curious how my kids’ mom would react to this. If you have any more information, please pass it along!
All I know for sure is they (pie town) are a legitimate outfit and this is the kind of show that could give huge exposure to the stepmom experience.

I wish that they would do a show that would mirror my experience as a stepmom where I was single with no kids before I married my husband who had a child. He only gets the child on the weekends, so he doesn’t live with us full-time (thank goodness, whew!). We had our first child 9 months after being married. I would like to see a family that only has the kids part time and how difficult it can be to interact with a child that you only see or have contact with a couple days out of the week.
I agree that the back and forth shuffle adds a lot more “drama” to the stepmom situation. Not only are you balancing a new family in your own home, but you have to make compromises and scheduling decisions around an ex-wife and in many cases, her “new” family.
I do often feel like my life is a sitcom.

Do you have a contact at Pie Town where a Stepmom could ask a question? We’ve got a really positive blended family going on here and I really would contact them except I’d want to know more before making that plunge.
You want to directly contact Ally Weinberg at ally_weinberg@pietown.tv
She is spearheaded the casting of this project. She should be able to help you out. I actually told her that a fellow stepmom from Chi-Town might be in touch, so go for it!

Ally contacted me regarding this show. They are interested in my me and my fiance’s story. Should be interesting
