My monkeys have left without me to tour The Good, the Bad, and the Monkey! Can you help me raise money so that I can go on tour with them? Monkeys fly for free. But humans don’t. Please make a donation for any amount to help me take The Good, the Bad, and the Monkey…
Today, I was walking down Milwaukee enjoying the beautiful weather–and a vegan chocolate chip ice cream cone–yum! I moseyed past lots of other Chicagoans enjoying this day in their own ways… Some were walking their dogs or chit-chatting with friends (or even strangers) on the corner, while many were sitting at tables on the sidewalks…
My dreams are usually pretty vivid. For a long time, I kept a dream journal. But I just lost the discipline after awhile. (And some of my entries were so illegible, I couldn’t even make out what happened.) I don’t write down my dreams nearly as often as I used to–but every once in a…

The bad sore throat/cold that’s been going around caught up with me last weekend. Whether I picked it up from its tour of the cast/crew of the show I’m in or from it’s usual hangouts around any of the classes of kids I teach, I know not. But I was pretty self-satisfied that I seemingly…
Ack, okay. I’ll admit it. I make noises. All the time. Wack-a-doo little sounds can oft be witnessed escaping my mouth ’cause they’re simply superior at conveying my exact feelings than words are. And I love words. (Mmmm-num-num-num…don’t get me wrong! This lady loves words). But sometimes, noises are just better. Hoo-diddle-lee-dee!* It’s when I…
Next week, I’ll be doing one of my favorite things: teaching a fun improv class to folks who don’t have (or maybe never even thought they wanted) improv or acting experience. Does speaking in front of a large group make you nervous? Do you want to improve your communication skills at parties/gatherings or think faster…
Last night was the first rehearsal in the actual space for WNEP‘s show that opens next week. Because the show is based on the paintings of Edward Hopper (and perhaps also because I am such a visual person), I’ve been crossing my fingers for a very visually stimulating set. After last night’s rehearsal, I am…
