I moved to Evanston in 2003 to study theatre at Northwestern, and after graduation in 2007 I moved into Chicago itself.
I work as a critic at centerstagechicago.com, and will post links to reviews there. I also work, variously, as a dramaturg, literary manager, assistant director, and actor, and hope to do more of all of them in the future.
How did I get here? This summer, I was lucky enough to attend the National Critic Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center, where two of the teachers were my friend Leonard Jacobs from Backstage (see his blog at http://clydefitch.blogspot.com) and Andy Propst, of the invaluable americantheaterweb.com. Andy was so impressed with our writing that he offered to set up blogs for all of us. I jumped, and here we are.
On this blog you'll find links to my reviews, theatre news, and my thoughts on all things theatre-related (and maybe an occasional off-topic post). I also want to hear your thoughts, so make sure to post comments!
