Hi, I’m Bob.
I’m a Chicago-based actor, writer, singer and passionate about live, local performance. One time, Cyndi Lauper gave me her cold.
Up next:
I’ll be playing Sylvia St. Croix in Ruthless! the Musical at Citadel Theatre in Lake Forest, Illinois. Performances run April 15 - May 17, 2026 (May 15 is our mega talented understudy performance).
About the show:
8-year-old Tina Denmark is a charming, sociopathic child star who’ll stop at nothing to land the lead role in her school musical. As her ambitious mother, Judy, transforms from a naive housewife to a Broadway diva, Tina’s psychotic drive for fame escalates, leading to a hilariously dark and twisted musical journey. *PG-13 rated musical comedy featuring intense dark humor, strong language and violence.
On stage
I found my way back to theatre in my 40s and haven’t slowed down since. I’ve performed across Chicagoland in productions that remind me why live theatre still matters — to artists, to audiences, and to the communities that support it.

I’m a playwright, podcaster, and digital storyteller drawn to the power of narrative across platforms. I’m the host and creator of The Sunset Project podcast (with over 70K downloads), build theatre- and culture-focused content on TikTok for an audience of over 74,000, and previously wrote about theatre and the arts for HuffPost, NBC 5 Chicago, and Choose Chicago. Across all of my work, I’m an advocate for live, local performance and the history of the art form.
