ChicagoDude's Recent Activity

Founder and webmaster of Chicago Theater Blog (www.chicagotheaterblog.com), a fairly popular blog on all-things theater in the Windy City. Also choir director at Unity Chicago (www.unitychicago.org).

Besides theatre and music, I have other passions/interests: architecture (especially Chicago architecture), HIV-prevention, urban renewal and politics (lean left-of-center).

My friends say my strongest (and most charismatic?) traits are my ability to accept people as they are (which I describe as giving people the benefit of the doubt) and my cheery optimism. (others say they are impressed by how organized I am, but I think I have a ways to go). As for my faults, I have my share, especially my perfectionism and taking on too much responsibility. Oh, and I totally don't get the popularity of "American Idol". :-)
