- Steppenwolf’s show banners give-away was somewhat of a success; check out the submissions. People had some fun, including Gil Tanner, who posed for Penelope and said, “Thank you, Steppenwolf! You have no idea how excited I am to have a large photograph of John Mahoney in my living room.” There was a bit of meme-ing going on.

- Gorilla Tango Theatre is trying to get both Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum to come to Once Upon a Rom Com: The Bill Pullman Story. “This fun, original, and endearing script written by recent Chicago transplant, Brian Work, and directed by Chicago native, Neal Fischer, is sure to educate those who only know Bill Pullman as ‘the guy who got left at the end of Sleepless In Seattle.‘” They’ve launched that they’re dubbing a “grassroots” campaign which in Fischer’s words means “Telling everyone we know to annoyingly e-mail their people and demand they come.”
