WriteOn Joliet Radio Player: Rachel Veres

No one, but especially writers who aren't actors and have no theater training, can deliver an entertaining and polished performance without a director.

We have one - and you should have seen her at work during "tech night" last night. Thanks to Rachel Veres, we now understand terms we didn't understand until our first show last year: Blocking, Q2Q, and cyc wall.

In case you missed previous posts, nine members of WriteOn Joliet will present “Fragments of Time," an original radio theater production, at 7 p.m. April 19 and April 20 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet.

Admission is $5.

Rachel Veres has a deep love for life and has spent every day in pursuit of her purpose. She lovingly keeps house for her family as a wife and mother and serves women as a home birth and bereavement doula. She spent most of her childhood in the fine arts and so is thrilled when an opportunity to create art with others comes her way. A long-time writer herself, she is pleased to be directing WriteOn Joliet's second radio play. She and her husband recently purchased five acres of land in Montana where they will soon build their dream home and homestead.

You can watch her on Refresh, an independent sci-fi drama hosted on Amazon, and find her work as a doula on her website littlebirdbirth.com. Connect with Rachel on Instagram at @littlebirdbirth and @rachelbonarek.

The authors and performers on April 19 and April 20 are Denise M. Baran-Unland, Mauverneen Blevins, Edward CalkinsHolly Coop, Steve CordinDiana EstellJennifer Russ, and Duanne Walton.

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.
