I am here for Friends

About Me

Tara Jenkins. I am a Performing Arts Management Major at Columbia College Chicago. When I graduate, my Bachelor's degree will have taken me 7 years to obtain. (Thanks, DBCC and Pell Grant money!) I moved to Chicago January of 2007 with my boyfriend Ryan Schile (of 4 years now) and love it here, but I do sometimes miss good old Florida. More the New Smyrna beach area....Daytona is pretty much the bad 1985 from Back to the Future II. I have 3 male gay cats who are all huge, I think farts are funny, and if I have a little too much coffee, I talk too much and too fast. I'm the President of the Entrepreneurship Club at school---which is awesome and helpful for when I open my old acting school from Fl up here. I love my family, my friends, and life's ironic twists. I'm probably utterly insane and here is proof... Bongo Bang

The Results are in

I'm sad to report today that I didn't win the pitch competition. They picked only one winner from the four of us and it was not me. That's the short version of the story. If you'd like details, I'll c...
