Julie Marino
Playwright, Storyteller
I believe in the transformative power of storytelling. Since humans began to speak, storytelling has been how we discover, how we learn, how we understand, how we create and transcend. It’s how we construct our world and our selves. We remember the stories we tell about our lives; we invent our lives in the remembering. We make the stories. We are the stories. And they never really end.
