Rance Rizzutto

I’m hosting 2-hours of trivia tonight at District Bar. 7-9pm. 170 W Ontario. Cash prize for first place and tons of other prizes throughout the night. COME PLAY!

And YES! It is happening the day before Thanksgiving.

Created by Del Close and Charna Halpern, The Harold begins with an audience suggestion. A team of improvisers fully explore the suggestion through scenes and games, creating disparate stories, characters and themes that eventually weave together seamlessly, like the instruments of a jazz band.

You can see Rance perform with the Harold team Chaos Theory.

The Deltones. Or its full name: The iO Musical featuring the Deltones. One of iO’s premiere ensembles performing a completely improvised musical. The cast includes members of other hit iO shows and teams including The Reckoning, Bullet Lounge, Improvised Shakespeare, Carl and the Passions and many more!

I’ve been living in Chicago since 2003. I know what winter is like here, and I was lucky enough to have a mild one my first year here to help me ease into it. Through my jobs and travels I have been able to avoid the last three winters here. Working on the NCL ships for Second City Theatricals almost always took me someplace warm. The closest I got to a winter was porting in NYC every Saturday for 5 hours. One time we even had about a quarter inch of snow on the deck as we set sail for warmer waters.

This will be my first Chicago winter in a while and I think I’m weak. When we had our first 50 degree day and I was chilled to the core I knew I was in trouble. Slowly, I’m adjusting. The weather has been nice enough to throw in a couple of warm bumps…giving me a little more time to prepare.

Preparation for me has been all about affordable gear, and I’m almost complete. I picked up about 4 thermal shirts from Target, finally they are making clothes that are skinny AND have long enough sleeves. While on a remote show for iO Chicago we stopped at a mall because we had a few hours to kill. Found a puffy coat on super sale at Burlington Coat factory. It is a Phat Farm classic, so…yeah, I’m pretty gangsta. While on an emceeing job downtown I had a couple hours in between and headed off to find the most important piece: water-proof boots.

I’m excited about snow. And now I can walk in it. We’ve been apart a while now, Winter. Let’s meet.
