WOW!
Nine members of WriteOn Joliet presented “Fragments of Time," an original radio theater production, last night at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet.
And what an opening night it was!
Not only did the performance go well, we had approximately thirty people attend, which was about twenty-five more than we expected for a Friday night with an unknown group of writers performing in a community theater.
We heard some high praise in the lobby from few people who took a chance on it, who are already making plans for the 2025 event and asking for flyers so they can tell their friends.
If you missed it, we have one more show tonight...and one more opportunity to experience a really unusual and enjoyable production.
Admission is just $5.
One of the author/performers is, well, me!
And even I have an official biography:

Baran-Unland is the author of the phantasmic BryonySeries, which includes the “drop of blood” vampire trilogy for young and new adults, a Gothic prequel for adults, the Limbo trilogy, a standalone werewolf novel, the Adventures of Cornell Dyer mystery series for grade and middle school students, the Girls of the BryonySeries series for tween girls, and the Bertrand the Mouse series for young children.
