"Changes of Heart" (Remy Bumppo Theatre): Potential But I Don't Love it!

"Changes of Heart" (Remy Bumppo Theatre): Potential But I Don't Love it!
Love is kooky!  Why do we love certain people?  How can love consume us and then delude us?  When do we know that this love is the real, everlasting kind?  In second grade, I came up with a theory to test the depths of the connection.  Up against Kardashian nonsense and Demi heartache, my school...

"A Bright New Boise" (Livewire Chicago): Provokes a Strong Reaction!

This past year, I saw… A brother make out with his sister.  A bar mob eat two strangers.  A gunman kill schoolchildren.  A clown rape a little girl.  I see plays with every imaginable injustice.  But it was the religious content of this play that has left me unsettled and angry.   LiveWire Chicago Theatre...

"We Live Here" (Theatre Seven): Writers Adapt to Chicago

"We Live Here" (Theatre Seven): Writers Adapt to Chicago

"The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek" (Eclipse Theatre): Depressingly Beautiful!

"The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek" (Eclipse Theatre): Depressingly Beautiful!
Some of the craziest things I’ve ever done can be traced back to a boy. Skoal Bandits, upside-down margaritas, a failed fetal pig rescue, dares have always been a warped flirtation for me. The boy-of-the-moment throwing down a gauntlet has often inspired me to bizarre antics. Love makes us do silly things but infatuation leads... Read more »
