Pam: Joelle, why are you smiling so big in this picture?

Joelle: Because it’s 9:36 and my bedtime is 8:05. I must be punch drunk.

Pam: Seriously? I thought it was because OUR SHOW IS SOLD OUT.

Joelle: Oh yeah, that too! So, Pam, what are you most excited about this Sunday?

Pam: I can’t decide. Obviously all our hard work coming together and letting our audience see the beauty of everyone’s stories. But also, it will be the debut of the sweet purple dress I found on Mod Cloth. What about you?

Joelle: It is SUCH a cute dress! I am especially excited to see how the audience reacts to some of the more intense stories. Do you think we need to provide Kleenex?

Pam: There will definitely be tears but don’t forget, this is Boulder… The audience might be annoyed at us for killing all the trees that made the tissues. But then again…on an entirely unrelated note, remember when we met working at the hospital. Remember realizing we both were into writing at the 3 West nurse’s station? That was cray-cray! And now we’re producing a SHOW!!!

Joelle: Wow. I remember when you called me to tell me that you had submitted the application to be involved with the show, you were like, “Don’t worry, we won’t ever get accepted!” But you know what, as freaked as I am about talking in front of our (sold out!) audience, I am just so much more proud of our cast. They are really bringing it in Boulder this year!

Pam: I know. These stories are like an old friend. I love them more every time I hear them.

Joelle: You know, I feel like we are trying to convince people to buy tickets but, dang, we have already sold out!

Pam: Now all we have to do is go over our to do lists, promise our husbands that on Monday they won’t have to hear about this anymore, and enjoy watching the audience fall in love with the stories!

Joelle: For shizzle.

Meet The Cast: Spotlight on Julie Berner

April 30, 2013

Julie Berner is passionate about the re-tell. Her own and others. Though the journey into motherhood three years ago shifted the focus of her writing (found in her blog, Journeyaroundtheson.blogspot.com), Julie is currently in the process of resurrecting herself as a storyteller (at autodidacticwriter.blogspot.com). She has read at The Narrators in Denver and is published in Monkey Puzzle Magazine. In the space beyond motherhood, Julie is nationally certified in the often-misunderstood profession of sign language interpreting and a passionate educator to those wishing to enter the field.  Julie loves the sound of a cello, self-help books, and marching bands. Come hear Julie’s amazing story about motherhood at The Dairy Center on Mother’s Day. You can get your tickets here.
