Hello

Hello, 

I've had a great time hanging out with Amelia, seeing where we have similarities and where we differ,  but it's surprising how much of what she dealt with as a woman in the 1930's is still happening today. 

​

My background is in theater. I am an actor, who has also directed, stage managed, worked as a scenic painter, and is an excellent carver of styrofoam walls for theatrical sets.  Here's my acting website:  Julia Morgantini  

​

I've always been a writer.  My degree is in English Literature - - I graduated from UCONN, Honors Scholar, Cum Laude, with a BA in English. I write content, I wrote short stories for a web series awhile back; I journal; I've written blurbs for auctions, and curriculum; I've spent the past 5 years working on an epic story called The Adventures of Kid Lucky. It's a story in three parts; it can  be a radio drama, and I imagine it being something to usher in a new type of animation film - - a streamable mini-series. It's about a bunch of NYC street pigeons who get drafted in WW 2 to work as carrier pigeons, and it takes a lot of research. 

​

The idea of working with Amelia came from that story. There was a bit where the pigeons are delayed, and to entertain them, their handler asks, who was the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean by airplane? And the pigeons say - - Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart! - - which is what most people think. To be able to answer that question, I had to learn all about the burgeoning aviation industry, which planted a seed in the back of my mind for this play. 

 

It was the US Navy, by the way, in 1919.

​

Love to hear from you if you have any questions or comments!

Julia
