My Way of Life

We completed our first weekend of Die! Mommie, Die! and things are going well. We’re still waiting for reviews as not a one has come out yet. Favorable reviews always mean bigger houses, which means a better chance of at least breaking even.  There is a feature in NewCity Magazine with myself and Charles Busch. Yesterday [...]

Trista Smith in TimeOut Chicago

Our very own blonde bombshell Trista Smith is featured in the current issue of TimeOut Chicago in a feature about surviving as a Chicago actor. Looking good, Trista!

Enchanted April

Catch ensemble memebrs Patricia Austin and Derek Czaplewski as a married couple in Circle Theatre’s Enchanted April. From what I hear you will be seeing a lot of Derek. Well, hopefully a lot. Doesn’t Trish look ‘enchanted’ as she holds her bouquet?

My Way of Life

One of the best things about the 80’s besides drinking like a fish, and going out everyday was all the time I had to watch movies. I had no ambition, so I, along with my best friends Andy and Cara watched certain films HUNDREDS of times. Seriously, dude. We would have ‘movie nights’ and just [...]
