"Costumed characters" are often part of community celebrations - and no Christmas party is complete without Santa Claus.
And as we wrapped up WriteOn Joliet's 8th Annual Anthology Release Party on Dec. 5 at the Joliet Public Library, Santa and Beeman took a photo for posterity, with Daniel (who "manned" the anthologies near the party entrance) gave his solid approval.
Now who is Santa and Beeman? (Yes, keep scrolling).
Beeman, of course, is WriteOn Joliet charter member Duanne Walton, who played the "bumbling" newbie superhero in a skit called "Bomb Threats and Bee Stings," written by WriteOn Joliet member Steve Cordin (left of Duanne), who played Ultra Bomber.
"Bomb Threats and Bee Stings" was one of the original pieces in "Fragments of Time," a WriteOn Joliet radio theater-style performance held twice in April at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theater in Joliet.
And now Santa...
Santa is really Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara: man, myth, newspaper carrier, BryonySeries character, and author of three books, as well as "Meta Ed" in the radio play, where Ed played himself in all these roles, along with other roles.
Here is Ed giving a stunning delivery of WriteOn Joliet member Mauverneen Blevins' "Time Piece."
And finally...
I make sure to take my annual-ish photo with Santa before we all headed out the door for the night.
Have a super Saturday!
