From a mother finding her voice, to artists discovering new ways of telling a story, to children stretching their creative wings in the park - every piece begins with an invitation to imagine what's possible.

Juniper Circle Productions creates space for those possibilities to flourish.

🍼Humor. Heartbreak. Rebellion.👩‍🍼

What happens when we stop pretending motherhood is supposed to look a certain way?

Through storytelling, music, and movement, Rose Costello explores the expectations placed on mothers, the upheaval of becoming a parent, and the possibilities of finding herself again.

“I hope people walk away feeling that if there is something inside of them that they have been wanting to get out, whether that is a piece of art, music, dance, poetry, or a new way of walking through the world, that they can create it and it doesn’t have to be perfect.”

Saturday, November 7 at 7 PM
The Alan Espinoza Solo Performance Series at The Learning Council’s Hearth in Paonia, Colorado
“A Motherhood Experience”
Written and performed by Rose Costello
With Gabrielle Louise, Rebecca Ascarrunz, Justin Nijssen, Jaime Payne, and David Alderdice.
