It's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for a "must-see" CATCH AS CATCH CAN! steppenwolf.org/catch

"This Steppenwolf production is what the theatre company is known for and actually seems to take things to a new level—with challenges not tackled in the history of this crown jewel of Chicago theatre. It’s as though the play was written for the vast skill range for these specific actors in mind. It is an intelligent, challenging to both actors and audience, and emotionally precise experience for all. That said, it is anchored by three formidable performances and a director who knows exactly how to let a story haunt you in a very personal way long after the lights come back up." - Paul Lisnek, Curtain Call Chicago

FUNNY SLUT
by Deanna Ortiz
June 20-21 @ 7:30PM

Deanna Ortiz used to think her job was just posting thirst traps for p**n stars. Turns out, it was also therapy… with a 401(k). In FUNNY SLUT, Deanna tells the hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt story of working in social media for the adult entertainment industry where she learned to embrace chaos, confidence and her inner hot girl all while replying, “Thanks, babe!” to strangers in the comments.

FUNNY SLUT is a sharp, self-aware and hilarious look at what happens when your day job is s*x, and your side hustle is soul-searching. It's for anyone who's ever felt weird about their job, their body or their browser history.
