About Me
- Name: Reina
- Location: United States
Good evening, all my katies, My name is Reina, and I go to the theatre an awful lot for someone who doesn't get paid. One Christmas in 2004, I decided that any good Chicago citizen should be familiar with our fair city's greatest resource: storefront theatre. I resolved to see a show in every single off-loop venue by the end of 2005. Experts have said this is impossible. I have countered with "charts."* Fringequest 2005 began in January with "Mr Punch, or Jack and the Blase Bride" and er, a play, I think it was called "Hamlet." I quickly realized that, even at $15 a pop, seeing 2-4 plays a week would put a serious dent in my budget. With my customary ingenuity, charm and chutzpah, I got myself set up as the theatre critic for Inside Newspapers, and subsequently moved over to Centerstage Chicago, a website owned by the Sun-Times. However, if you'd like the real, off-the-cuff, badly-frayed, just got home from the theatre slightly buzzed impressions of what I see, you've come to the right place. *I didn't counter with a chart I'd made. I just countered by saying "Charts! I've got charts and maps with little flags in them!" I haven't made any charts yet. I was lying.

Happa birthday, Wanda Mae!
Hope you had a marvellous one, in which nothing too untoward happened. And also that you had a lovely dinner with your parents.
24, and shiny with it.
