DON’T KNOW GREG OR AMY? HERE ARE THEIR RAP SHEETS:
Amy Eaton has been working with young people and theater for the past 23 years. Before that, she was a young person. She founded Mudlark Theater Company (“no small parts, just small actors”) on the belief that young people are capable of creating interesting, funny, intelligent theater. She was the Artistic Director for Mudlark for 5 years and prior to that Evanston Children’s Theater for 5 years. She has been an artist in residence for both Gallery 37 and Urban Gateways, working with kids of all ages throughout Chicago. She also toured nationally with Sunshine Too, a group of Deaf and Hearing performers. She has acted and directed for such companies as Tellin’ Tales Theater, Curious Theater Branch, Great Beast, NonSoFar, Redmoon, Mary-Arrchie and Thunder Road Ensemble. She curated and performed in Honor Thy Mother, a collection of autobiographical performance pieces. She graduated from Ithaca College with a BFA in Acting and a minor in Writing.
Greg Callozzo has been performing and directing in and around Chicago for many years. First attracted to improv because there’s no lines to memorize, he discovered the work of Viola Spolin who introduced the use of games, storytelling and dramatics while working with children at Hull House in the 1920s. Inspired, he attended Second City Conservatory which led to performance at IO and Annoyance Theaters as well as with Saint Sebastian Players, New Rock Theater and PorkchopCo. He’s created and guided many workshops for Madison Public Schools, local park districts, schools and homeschool groups. He attended Boise State and DePaul universities for theater and business. Guess where he got his degree…
