No show can go on without a production assistant that does the miscellaneous behind-the-scenes grunt work: running errands, stuffing scripts, picking up and distributing flyers, providing feedback, hunting up miscellaneous items as needed, finding missing hearing aids backstage, and running WriteOn Joliet meetings as needed.
But that's exactly some of the tasks WriteOn member Rebekah Baran has executed for WriteOn Joliet's four years of radio plays - and 2026 is no exception!
Eight members of WriteOn Joliet will present “Shades of Noir." an original radio theater production, at 2 and 7 p.m. April 18 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet.
Admission is $5.
Rebekah Baran has a knack in learning technology very quickly and easily taught herself the basics of website design, formatting manuscripts for print books and eBooks, book cover design, and the basics of self-publishing.
She is the to-go production person for all of the BryonySeries books and the WriteOn Joliet anthologies and website.
Rebekah earned an Associate of Applied Science in Culinary Arts from Joliet Junior College in 2016 and has worked as a pastry chef, prep cook, and assistant sous chef in Will County restaurants.
She loves, baking, cooking, reading, researching new products, and all things pertaining to Asian culture.
