HELLO, DEAR DIVAS!! I have a really exciting fall coming up, and I wanted to share all of the neat performances I’m doing, all in one place! Here’s the SCOOP: ADELINDA - I’m playing Marchioness in @midsommer.flight’s staged reading of this rarely performed play by Hannah Brand. I’m super pumped to part of MSF’s partnership with @etcclassics, an organization that uncovers and uplifts classic plays by folks of marginalized genders! One Night Only - Monday, September 14th at @theunderstudychi at 7:30pm (Tickets: Pay-What-You-Can!) IMPROV: THE PLAY - Uh oh, the fine folks at @improvtheplay letting me do this for the THIRD time? CAN’T WAIT! Will I do a Shakespeare scene again? I don’t know (probably)! Watch our opening and closing night on Thursday, September 24th at 7:30pm at @iochicago (Tickets: $19.20 each w/ fees ; I may have a discount code [tbd]) RADICAL FUTURES - I’m making my @factorytheater debut this fall in a dope new play by @bz_florida! This one is extra special to me because not only am I performing in my beloved Rogers Park, but it’s also the first time I’ll be working with another Ohio Wesleyan grad since 2016 (hi, @adrisbowties 💕) (Tickets: $30 ; Hot Tix has some sweet, sweet deals / Industry Night: 11/16) All ticket links are in the Linktree in my bio! BYE BYE FOR NOW! 🩷🐱⭐️🎀😜 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @hannahmary32

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!! I wanted to make a separate post for this one, since I’ll be TEACHING instead of PERFORMING. I met Matthew Ellenwood in late 2016, after they cast me in @terramysterium’s A Midwinter Mummer’s Tale (a delightful, Pagan re-telling of A Christmas Carol). Soon after, I began to take voice lessons with them at @ellenwood_studios, and the rest is, as they say, history. Working with Matthew over the past ten years (!!!!!!!!) has been one of the highlights of my time in Chicago, and let me tell you, I was THRILLED when they casually floated the idea of teaching a joint Shakespeare/Michael Chekhov Technique workshop with me. Your mission, should you choose to accept, will be to spend the day with us (Saturday, Oct 24th 10:00am - 5:00pm with a 60 minute break for lunch) exploring Shakespeare’s text through Checkhov’s playful, fully-embodied acting methodology. It’ll be an arts-lab experience, with a heavy focus on experimentation and sharing the joy of our work with each other! Interested? Check out my Linktree for Registration info! All pricing tiers are listed on the graphic above, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! “For in the verie Torrent, Tempest, and (as I may say) the Whirle-winde of Passion, you must acquire and beget a Temperance that may giue it Smoothnesse.” - William Shakespeare (Hamlet) “An actor has to burn inside with an outer ease.” - Michael Chekhov taken in Chicago, Illinois by @hannahmary32

Hahaha! Isn’t it funny how this monologue is over 400 years old, yet it’s so painfully timely!? So funny!!! Haha! The Roaring Girl (1611) - Thomas Dekker, Thomas Middleton by @hannahmary32

Today is my 10 year anniversary of living in Chicago (hahahahahha what the fuck)!! The lady in the pink dress (me) is so proud of who the ukulele-lady (also me) has become since then— I owe a huge part of that growth to living in this magnificent city (honorable mentions for said GROWTH include: cats, learning how to say No, the support of my friends and family, Estill Vocal Technique, the CTA, Prozac, every button/pin/patch that’s ever been on my bag, thrift stores, Grether’s Pastilles, Howard Zinn’s quote about Hope being a strength and not a weakness, Rogers Park, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, getting married at City Hall in -20 degree weather, Portillo’s hot dogs, breathing at the end of each line of verse, maintaining a squishy heart in a world that can be cruel, glitter, and the Chicago Public Library). 🩷 by @hannahmary32
