MISTAKES WERE MADE

Saw "Mistakes Were Made" again, written by Craig Wright (Six Feet Under, Dirty Sexy Money, Lost), featuring Red Orchid founding ensemble member and Academy-Award nominee Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road, World Trade Center, Bug, Bad Boys II) and ensemble member Mierka Girten, and directed by Dexter Bullard (Bug on stage, Chair of MFA Acting at DePaul).

FUCK that's good theatre. Engaged, compelling, and most of all, incredibly entertaining.

There's something about Chicago theatre... being able to see an Oscar nominee come back to his home, the company he started, a theatre with a total of 75 seats, and act his heart out to a packed house - doing what he loves and making great art for the people and company he loves.

Just ask him. I did.
