When you're in the thick of a thing, it's sometimes impossible to know how it'll all turn out when it ends. Throughout the year, I didn't really feel like I was getting to many shows, but as I look back at the list for 2016, I'm surprised it's as healthy as it is. There it is in writing: ten shows, ...
2016 [The Good]
It's been a rough year. As my own little self-care exercise, and as I work on more formal year-end posts, here are nice things that happened in the last 12 months, in no particular order. I saw Hamilton on Broadway. I saw Hamilton in Chicago. I spent two wonderful weekends in my dear New ...
Listen To This: Christmas 2016
I started listening to holiday music in early October. That's mainly because I want to be able to do what I'm doing here today: share with you a new playlist of songs to enjoy during the season. If I didn't start listening until it was socially appropriate, you wouldn't get your playlist until ...
Watch This: 20th Century Women
The title of Mike Mill's latest film, 20th Century Women, is slightly misleading. Though led by a cast of notable actresses including Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig and Elle Fanning (definitely Elle. Definitely not Dakota. No, I didn't have to confirm that on IMDb. You did.), this is actually Jamie's ...
Watch This: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
With the Festival basically taking over my life for the last two months, I feel woefully under-prepared for fall movie season. I haven't even looked at seasonal release calendars, let alone created my own preview of what I'm most looking forward to! So when friends brought up the idea of catching ...
Curtain Call (x4)
In a series of happy accidents, I found myself catching not one or two live theater productions recently, but four Broadway-caliber shows within a matter of days (two of them actually on Broadway). It started with a pair of tickets to Hamilton here in Chicago, tickets I'd purchased in March of this ...
A Glimpse That’s Not
The strangest thing has been happening lately. Wherever I go, for the briefest moment, I'm seeing familiar faces in complete strangers. That is, I glimpse someone I've never seen before in my life and for just a flash I'm sure it's someone I know. There, on the sidewalk outside this cafe in ...
oh, hello again
This may mark the biggest gap between posts since this little site started a few years ago; had I known I'd be gone for two and a half months, I would've left you on a more thoughtful note than a post about a British baking show (though it is a great show). But here we are. Just a day removed from ...
Watch This: Great British Baking Show
With a billion different ways to get content these days, I've stuck with Netflix for the long haul. Back in the day, I was a 3-disc-at-a-time card-carrying member - it was the only way to keep a steady stream of movies in my life. These days, my disc subscription is long gone and I can barely find ...
No Voice (Work) to Speak Of
When I left Indianapolis, I might've sold all my furniture but I did still have a lot to take with me. I couldn't part with my collection of books or films. Audrey certainly made the move. And I was also able to keep my voicework up, as my agent booked me work whether I was in Park City or New York ...
