For anyone who is (or will be) in the Chicago area in the upcoming months, a pair of 2nd Story shows in which I have a hand will finally have the lights shone brightly upon them:
January 8 & 9 @ Webster’s: Up The Ladder, Down The Rabbit Hole
There are few moments in life with more opportunity to terrify, amaze, or entertain than when we find ourselves wildly out of our element, our safe place, our home. (As someone who has been to Memphis and back, you’ll have to trust me on this.) I’ve been working with Susan, Maria, JC and Eric for some months on this show and now, finally, their words will see the light of day. Check it out.
February 12 & 13 @ Webster’s: Just Love Me Already
Autumn, 1992. Joanna Harper had the kind of face people write songs about. Young Andrew had nowhere to turn for guidance but to a complete set of Led Zeppelin tapes. Eighth grade can be a confusing place sometimes.
I promise either will be nothing less than the most well-spent evenings of your life.
Thank you as always for reading,
