You Can't Take it With You:

"We All Die Alone," performing at...
Gorilla Tango

Enjoy what you have and try to stop obsessing over what you don't have. When you finally bite the dust all you get to take is yourself.

Over the last few months I've had the opportunity to focus my energy on being an 85-year-old woman in "We All Die Alone," a geriatric-sex-comedy featured at The Gorilla Tango Theatre in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood.

It's been quite the trip to act in a play as an oldie, but a goodie. And, I suppose it's opened even further the notion that you only have so much time to do what you want to do, say what you want to say and act how you want to act — so my feeling is this, knock yourself out. You only get one at-bat.
