Part 7 Meet the Cast of DEVILS DON'T FORGET - Adam Dodds and Anya Clingman

Adam Dodds

Anya Clingman

Adam Dodds is from Howard, Pennsylvania (if you check your road atlas it's right there in the centerfold...although some people would say the crack.). He spent some time telling ghost stories on the streets of New Orleans before coming to Chicago. Adam is a member of Halcyon Theatre where he'll be directing Fucking Parasites for the Alcyone Festival later this summer. Favorite Chicago roles include Wallace in Militant Language (Halcyon), Sir Kay in The People's Sword in the Stone, (Quest), and Moe in Infancy (Steep).

Anya Clingman has been creating theatre at a rate of about four shows a year since she was nine. She is an actor, writer, director, puppeteer, and sometime stage-manager. Past productions have included Kafka/Bullard’s The Trial, Dahl/Nolan’s James and the Giant Peach and The BFG, Mee/Murray’s Full Circle and NWaC’s own Episodical Trilogy. She has been doing original work at venues like Looptopia, The Subterarranean, Abbey’s Pub, The Empty Bottle, and The Inconvenience Threatre. She would like to thank the folks at The Right Brain Project, the Coletto-Kaplans and her enormously supportive loved ones for helping her get this far.

Meet the Cast of DEVILS DON'T FORGET - Don Hall

What can be said about Don Hall that hasn't already been uttered through clenched teeth!? Don Hall is the Events Coordinator for Chicago Public Radio and the Audience Services cat for NPR’s prolific game show "Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!"

Don is a producer, director, and writer of Chicago Off-Loop Theater and the Founding Director of Chicago's prolific WNEP Theater. Every now and again, Don can be seen performing on a Chicago stage or teaching advanced improvisational technique.

He is also an angry liberal and a dissatisfied artist.

Visit the blog - An Angry White Guy in Chicago (http://www.donhall.blogspot.com/) - for daily updates about his skewed view of Chicago theater, the fetid world of politics and the planet in general. It isn’t pretty, so enter at your own risk.

He also happens to be one of the most villainous bad guys the Chicago Storefront Scene has ever spawned. Don plays UDO the heavy in DEVILS DONT FORGET. Come on out and hiss at him!

Meet the Cast of DEVILS DON'T FORGET - Dennis Frymire

Dennis Frymire plays BUSTER in DEVILS DON'T FORGET

Dennis moved to Chicago back in 2006 to take funny classes at I.O. and Annoyance and the like. He only does the occasional two-person improv show now, but since moving to the Windy City, he's acted with Wildclaw Theater, LiveWire Chicago, WNEP, Hubris Productions, and has directed for Theatre Momentum. Beyond his artistic pursuits, Dennis is also studying clinical massage therapy at The Soma Institute, and will be a licensed therapist in early 2010.

Load In for DEVILS DON'T FORGET begins

Well, we are about to load in this weekend for DEVILS DONT FORGET. It seems that we just started rehearsals yesterday (I know that everybody always feels that way at this point, but still I can't escape truisms).

Lights, Sound, Set, costumes... they are all coming in during the next 2 weeks. I am already feeling the little sense of wanting to hold on to it before it is all over.

We've assembled a fantastic cast, and I hope to talk a little bit about them over the next 2 weeks leading to that first curtain.

It is my hope that all of you in the Chicago Storefront Community will consider coming out to see DEVILS DON'T FORGET. I think we've got something very special here... oh and it runs for 4 weeks only!

Please consider subscribing to our blog themammals.blogspot.com or joining as a fan at our facebook page (just goto facebook and type in "Chicago Mammals").

All the best

Bob Fisher

Amnesia - A favorite device of Noir

BUSTER - What do you know about Amnesia?
GIRL TWO - I know it's adventurous
