David Zak, contributer and reviewer for the Chicago Theater Examiner posted a little article about one of my embarrassing stage moments. We all know how much I LOVE to tell you all embarrassing stories about myself, so click HERE to read it.

On a personal note, I have so much more to thank David for. He was the first director to cast me when I was fresh out of college without a single professional credit on my resume. He was the first director to cast me as a lead very shortly after in the American premiere of Jerry Springer: the Opera. He then gave me a one-woman show when he trusted me with the telling of Tell Me On A Sunday. He has trusted and supported me even more than I’ve trusted myself.

David is never afraid to take a casting risk. He knows talent. He knows what will work. There is a reason that so many successful actors in this city had their start at Bailiwick Repertory where David was Artistic Director. He’s not afraid to give an actor their start and he’s also a damn good director. For this and so many other things, I thank you David Zak and many others should too. Now…don’t blush. Take a little bow.

Can’t wait until we work together again.

Love Harmony
