Thank you, Wichita!
Last night was unforgettable and we’re so grateful to everyone who came out to Watermark Books & Cafe to help launch "The Real Education of TJ Crowley: Coming of Age on the Redline" in its new Scriptbook Edition.
It was a special treat to be hosted by our daughter, Jillian Forsberg, historian, novelist, and an amazing interviewer! Co-author and producer-director May Wuthrich made a surprise cameo via Zoom.
It was a night for powerful and immersive storytelling, shared memories, and a special tribute to members of the ARISE Ensemble whose music helped the production earn the Audie Award and an Earphones Award from AudioFile.
It was also the first of a series of read-and-listen community events to be held in the city in 2026. Learn more, see photos: https://bitl.to/5aKq
