Spotlight on the playwright: Cassandra is proud to be a playwright, screenwriter, and narrative designer— often at the same time. Originally from Rockford, IL (go Peaches!), her sordid past includes growing up doing historical reenactment, giving tours in a science museum’s coal mine, and working in a literacy nonprofit. As a playwright, she followed up a BA in Playwriting at Columbia College Chicago with her self-produced The Dictionary Project, Chicago Dramatists’ Tutterow Fellowship (The Amen Trilogy), Stage Left Theatre’s Downstage Left Residency (The Volunteer), and Broken Nose Theatre’s The Paper Trail (Billy to His Friends). Most recently, a workshop production of the start of her queer steampunk play, Skyflint, was part of Haven Chicago’s Director’s Haven 7. As a screenwriter, she won the Scripted Digital Series award at Austin Film Festival in 2022 with Walk Into A Bar. And as a narrative designer, she shipped 3 titles for the romance video game Chapters: Interactive Stories. Cassandra is repped by Jacob Hayman at Citizen Skull. Find her at linktr.ee/scriptsbyrose

No notes! Please give us a full production of “Chicago” based on this number! Repost @jnbldwn #chicagomusical #chicagothemusical #broadwaymusical #wehonightlight
Iconic! #MusicalMondays Regram @watching_classicmovies
Rest in Peace, Chita Rivera. I know she lived for the stage, but I`m grateful there are lots of TV show appearances where she can be admired forever. And there`s Sweet Charity (1969). This number with Shirley MacLaine and Paula Kelly is a guaranteed mood lifter.

How could we forget these stars of “A New Brain”? These talented performers lent their voices to our Gala last month, and we are so grateful! We adore you!
We know that courtyard! A resounding congratulations to Raven for your Bayard Rustin Award! Regram @lalgbtcenter
Joining us in celebration of #BHM, #HighlyFavored honoree @ravensymone accepts the Center’s Bayard Rustin Award for her trailblazing career as a Black queer entertainer. She proudly shared: “That’s So Raven was filmed right across the street. I’ve been looking over at this [Center] building since I was 15 years old, when I had not said I was gay…So it feels like a dream to be able to come here today and stand here and say, ‘I’m GAY!’” 🌈💜🖤 #gay #imgay #RavenSimone #thatssoraven #lgbtqia
