The Chicago Reader says, “Amanda Rountree is a riot!” Audience members have described the show as “inspiring,” “funny,” “beautiful,” and “a must-see!“ The Chicagoist picked this show as one of their “three to see.” There is only one more show left: this Thursday, March 28 at 8pm and I am so very excited that the funny and talented Amy Sumpter opens for me on closing night! Click here to watch a trailer for the show. You can also click here to read a review of the show.
Amy Sumpter is a comedic actress who has focused mainly on stand-up for 5 years. She is a regular performer of The Kates, can be seen in Beast Women, and if you’re lucky you may see her performing in her car. Just pretend you didn’t see her talking to herself…she is doing bits! She is also in an all female Beastie Boy tribute band called She’s Crafty.

The art of improvisation creates stories from thin air, making the unseen seen. For Amanda Rountree, this is not just anartform, but a way of life — one that includes unexpected twists and turns — leading, if not to mastery, to enlightenment. Written and performed by Amanda Rountree, and directed by Jen Ellison, this show follows the artist on her path with all of the funny and touching moments along the way.
