Lets do the damn thing

About Me

I'm a frosted romantic. A polarized relaxer. A sentimental observer. A smiling insurgent. A cooperative time bomb. A frank joker. Playwright, Director, Producer. Easily approachable. Interested in other people. Motivated. Sounds like a resume. I like my space. I love company but i need my personal space. I'm convinced that theater has a purpose in a cinema dominated time. I write plays. My current four goals are to enjoy everything life throws at me, stay informed about the world, make enough money to pay rent and have fun, and get involved in the Chi town theater scene.

My Interests

PLaywriting, directing, reading, helping friends, hanging out with friends, drinking forties, making beats, listening to new music, going out with people.
