Confessions of a Chicago Theatre Addict

(chitheatreaddict.com)

Hi. My name’s Bob and I’m a Chicago Theatre Addict [CTA]. These are my confessions.

(This blog was formerly called “Robertianish.” I changed the name to reflect the evolution of this blog’s focus. Plus, it was a horrid title anyway.)

I adore Chicago theatre. All shapes and sizes: Storefront, big budget, black box, splashy musicals, gritty dramas, Broadway in Chicago, broken folding chairs in a basement. I’ll take it all and share my thoughts here.

About a year ago, I committed to making this blog more about Chicago theatre, since I think any good blog needs a focus. And a stiff drink.

That said, it’s not *strictly* theatre. So I hope you’ll accept the wishy-washy way I run things around here. I never claimed to be consistent — only constant.

Also, a word of warning: Should you choose to dig into my archived posts, I claim no responsibility for my younger, dumber self. So proceed with caution, and all that.

A little about me: I live in Chicago, recently discovered a hidden talent for running, love theatre (obviously), and am approaching 30 recently turned 30 (!).

And finally, please leave comments! I’d love to hear what you think, and promise to do my best to reply.

Thank you.

And now it’s time for some desperate self-promotion:

I’ll review your show!
Give me a ticket, and I’ll help spread the word here. While I can’t promise a glowing review if your show’s a clunker, I can promise that I’ll be honest and thoughtful. Simply contact me. A collection of my reviews can be found here.

Lame disclaimer: In keeping with the new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations that unfairly discriminates against bloggers, who are now required by law to disclose when they have received anything of value they might write about, please note that I usually receive a press ticket for shows I write about.
