Local readers and writers already know what a terrific resource The Book Market Sales and Trading Center in Crest Hill is for the community.
Not only is the owner, Janet Staley, friendly to local authors by hosting author signings and carrying locally written books on consignment, she stocks (or can find) a wide variety of new, used, and rare books, so many your mind will spin.
But this year, eight members of WriteOn Joliet discovered just how deeply Janet Staley's commitment to locally written words runs.
Starting in January, Janet opened her space after-hours for we eight to rehearsed for a “An Evening With WriteOn Joliet: Readings to Entertain and Inspire You” which we will present this Saturday April 22 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet.
For tickets (just $5) and more information about Saturday's, visit bicentennialpark.org or contact the office: 815-724-3761 or bipark@joliet.gov.
Below are half a dozen photos from one rehearsal that feature Maureen Blevins, Edward Calkins, Holly Coop, Steve Cordin, Diana Estell, Cean Magosky, Duanne Walton...and me!
Actually, Timothy's girlfriend Jasmine stood in for Steve Cordin in some of these photos since he was running late from work.
And my niece Rachel Veres (purple jacket), who has a theater background, drove more than an hour away, one way, to guide us into a better performance.
While we rehearsed, Janet worked on inventory.
We hope you can make it out to the theater this Saturday. We promise you an entertaining evening.
