WriteOn Joliet Radio-Player: Duanne Walton

Good morning! 

In the couple of weeks leading up to showtime, I've been introducing you to each of the 2025 WriteOn Joliet Radio-Players and flooding this blog with show details, since the big days are this weekend.

Ten members of WriteOn Joliet will present “We Can Be Heroes," an original radio theater production, at 7 p.m. April 25 and 2:30 and 7 p.m. April 26 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet.

Admission is $5.

One of the author/performers is Duanne Walton.

Duanne, who is working on a mystery thriller, is known as an intrepid videographer and writes nicely structured stream of consciousness pieces.

He said, "Writing is my gift from God and it's been with me forever. It's seen me through rough times and brought me to WriteOn Joliet where I've found support, encouragement and friends. 

"I've also discovered other talents as an intrepid videographer, interpretive dancer or mime, and comic strip writer artist. I am blessed and thankful."

Unlike many of us, Duanne is extremely relaxed and confident in front of a microphone. Give him any piece and he can execute brilliantly on the first read. Come out and see for yourself - and check out his YouTube channel at 4thtroika (@4thtroika), where you'll his recordings of WriteOn Joliet live events along with a wide assortment of Duanne's videos on varied topics.

The other authors and performers on April 25 and April 26 are Denise M. Baran-Unland, Mauverneen BlevinsEd CalkinsHolly CoopSteve Cordin, Diana Estell, Jenny RussCean Magosky, and Colleen H. Robbins.
