Paul Baio is a Chicago improvisor and nice guy. His wife Lisa has been diagnosed with cancer. He has set up this web site to try to raise some money to help with the mounting medical bills: www.helplisafightcancer.com (it may not display properly in Netscape, but you can go to the donation page directly).

'The Film Department of Columbia College will be holding season auditions for this academic year. To be considered, send two headshots to
Rachel Slavick
Film Department
Columbia College
600 S. Michigan
Chicagom IL 60605.'
(from PerformInk).
Note: This is for student film work, so while you can get time in front of a camera (for some of their projects) and meet some good directors, it is a little hit or miss:
  • There is almost always no money involved.
  • Do not count on getting material for your reel
    (expect to get copies of at most a third of your work).
  • Production management can be very weak.
  • Caveat actor.

I wonder if the same is true for not getting a callback ;-):
The feeling is familiar to anyone who has been passed over in picking teams or snubbed at a party - a sickening, almost painful feeling in the stomach.
Well, it turns out that 'kicked in the gut' feeling is real, U.S. scientists said on Thursday.
Brain imaging studies show that a social snub affects the brain precisely the way visceral pain does
(from Reuters, via Yahoo News).

On-line chatroom critics might affect Broadway. I imagine Chicago can't be too far behind:
Broadway internet chatrooms have become a force on the Great White Way. What is unclear is whether the boards affect a show's fate. Conventional wisdom says, for instance, that bad Internet buzz about the Boston tryout of the 2000 flop Seussical killed the show's Broadway run. Some disagree, however, saying reviews and, of course, the shows themselves still matter far more than online opinions. Do posts influence shows' creative teams? If so, no one involved in a production would ever admit it.
(from The New York Times).
