This photo was taken at the Book and Bean Cafe in Joliet in WriteOn Joliet's very last open mic night on Calkins Day 2020 (February 13) before the pandemic shut down the "regular" way to live.
And we hope Tammy Duckworth, the cafe's owner, has room for us again this year.
BTW, the cafe is located inside the Black Road branch of the Joliet Public Library, which is a community partner of WriteOn Joliet.
But tonight, April 22, at 7 p.m., eight of us members of WriteOn Joliet will present “An Evening With WriteOn Joliet: Readings to Entertain and Inspire You” on April 22 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet.
Admission is $5.
Performers are Denise M. Baran-Unland, Maureen Blevins, Edward Calkins, Holly Coop, Steve Cordin, Diana Estell, Cean Magosky, and Duanne Walton.
And no, this blog isn't just one last marketing push (although it's that, too).
A portion of the show toward the end will pay tribute to the person who encouraged us to perform this open mics at the Book and Bean, without which, we could never stand on Bicentennial Park's stage and speak our original words into a microphone tonight.
As I said, this will be near the end of the show. So don't worry if you are a few minutes late.
Lobby doors open at 6 p.m. Concessions and drinks will be available for purchase. WriteOn Joliet books and anthologies will be available for purchase one hour before the show, during intermission and immediately after the show’s conclusion.
The Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre is at 201 West Jefferson Street, downtown Joliet, 60432.
