"The future begins this afternoon!  For god's sake -
wear your good underwear!"

- Grandma Bernice 

GRANDMA BERNICE TELLS ALL -
​at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, 2016.  

​

Born in 19th Century Sweden, raised near the South St. Paul Stock Yards, Bernice Holmgren married twice and divorced without regret.

All before it was cool. 

Along the way she drove cattle from Iowa to Fosston, Minnesota - owned and ran a cafe in Iowa - raised four children, and managed to perfect art of sooth saying. 

Join her on stage as she reads the cards of lucky audience members, and shares her wisdom, humor and warnings. 



"It's tough out there.
​Whenever you can, drink milk."   
​-Grandma Bernice

Writing for the theatre requires imagination, enthusiasm and stamina.  Working in the gardens of the Cozy Cottage provides all three.  If you're ever in St. Paul, Minnesota, stop by to see me.  I'll be certain to pick a bouquet for you to take on the road, and pour you a cup of the coffee that makes Como Park famous.

Some folks think that color detracts from language.  I feel the opposite.  Throwing the delight of nature into the center of a story deepens the appeal of the plot.  Listen for the way in which the environment explodes in my work - you'll appreciate the power of the peony and the quiet trust of the new tulip.
