Recently I got to partake in yet another fantastic evening of BYOT (Bring Your Own Theater). This monthly event brings together some of Chicago's most ambitious creative folks as well as a host of first-timers looking to cut their teeth. Essentially, a group of people get together, and inside of twenty-four hours create a series of one act plays. There's always a theme to help steer the course. On this occasion we got "I just wanted to play board games," and it couldn't have worked out finer. Each play stood out on its own running the spectrum from touching tales of battered veteran games to a comical paranormal bit about Monopoly. I especially enjoyed the former, "The Bottom Shelf" written by Meg Reilly.
However, obviously in the interest of shameless self promotion, I must push my own piece. Since all performers are selected at random I feel very privileged to have gotten such a wonderful cast. In particular I lucked out getting the chance to craft a character that allowed the singular Ross Childs to explode on stage. For those not yet familiar, Ross is a highly enthusiastic, and energetic performer as is well evidenced by this piece. In addition to being a quality actor he's also a seriously accomplished musician, and I recommend checking out not only his body of work, but to also keep an eye out for his album which will be dropping soon.
