Here's what the critics are saying about Ceres!
"...here's the rare anticorporate play that offers more than just the vantage point of the disgruntled, unappreciated workers on the bottom rung." **** (FOUR STARS) Time Out Chicago
"...high-octane energy..allows theatergoers to feel like privileged voyeurs in the lions' den of high-volatility investment brokers... leaves us with the message to question the beast even if it's lavishly feeding the cow." Centerstage Chicago
"...a solid cast...I was very impressed with several of the actors and the characters they brought to life." Steadstyle Chicago

Set against the backdrop of Chicago's Financial District and one broker's surreal subconscious, Ceres takes us into the lions' den of hot-shot investment insurance brokers, sneaking a glimpse into the dubious actions of clandestine Unit 57 and its Board of Directors. Inspired by the demise of one of our nation's oldest industries and those caught in the middle of a scandal that continues today, Ceres exposes moments of truth and volatility, camaraderie and outright betrayal, where the world of corporate governance permeates individual beliefs of what is ethical - and desirable - in business and in life.
I'm so proud of our little company. This is a show with a lot of fine work in writing, directing, production design, and acting. I love the distortions the play exposes in the business world and the story of one woman's struggles with identity while trying in that same cutthroat world. Don't take my word for it. Get your tickets & go see for yourself.
This is my Blogzine: a jump back to the baser levels of writing to appreciate the entertainment that goes down easy and with flavor. This is more the dive bar than brasserie of blogs, so it contains serials, narratives, and stories of easily digestible media. Pull up a stool, read my independent press with your cheap beer. You'll find stories of Amsterdam, a love of pulp, horror, and stage with jumps from academia to ice fishing. This is my freewrite. Enjoy and share in the disabstraction.
