Refracted Theatre Company Relocates to Chicago
With my theatre company, Refracted, I have officially relocated to Chicago. Beyond being my hometown, Chicago has always been a place of great opportunity for me. Chicago’s storefront theaters are part of a supportive network, which will be critical to Refracted’s success. Refracted’s Chicago debut season will be announced in the next few months. Stay Tuned!
