i almost forgot...

what it's like to see incredible theatre.

we've lived in this city for a year now. a year plus. this is what i've seen:

*xanadu - water tower place - starring tiffany n topol
the seafarer - steppenwolf
great falls - profiles
desire under the elms - goodman
the wonderful world of dissocia - profiles
the tempest - steppenwolf
the mercy seat - profiles
graceland - profiles
fake - steppenwolf
the addams' family - downtown
killer joe - profiles
august: osage county - broadway tour
american buffalo - steppenwolf
the shape of things - columbia college staged reading
killer joe - u of i, krannert center

that may seem like a lot, but it doesn't feel like it. not at all. maybe because those last four were all seen within the past 10 days.

and there are these still to see before the end of february:
awake & sing - northlight (seeing it on thursday with eleni)
hughie/krapp's last tape - goodman
lucid - the athenaeum

and these before the end of march:
subUrbia - the nine
a separate peace - steppenwolf
the long red road - goodman
a history of the american film - u of i, krannert center
the twins would like to say - steppenwolf garage
brother/sister plays - steppenwolf

and these are only the ones that i can think of right now.

so. if you want to see one of these with me. do. otherwise, i'll go alone. and i won't feel bad about it. because i love it.
