"Maggie is a red- headed corker, not afraid to take on Eddie joke for joke, or fill in his lines when he forgets them. Evans is great at portraying both Maggie's sharp, vaudeville - seasoned humor and her sturdy intelligence when she protests the unfairness of "Red Channels." -Mary Wisniewski, New City Stage
One of my favorite reviews and photos from CHANGING CHANNELS at City Lit Theatre. We play til April 12. #chicagotheatre #theatresky
Photo by Steve Townsend Christine Malcom, Talkin' Broadway review of Changing Channels at City Lit Evans skillfully captures the reality that Maggie not only excels at the game of comedy and the business of it, but she enjoys both. She is eminently lovable in all her sharp edges, thanks to the charm of Evans' performance. As good as Reeger's script is, though, it's easy to see that Maggie's intelligence and savvy might read as too good to be true in the wrong hands. Fortunately, Maggie is certainly in the right hands here.

"It s an engaging (and sometimes enraging) story, thanks in no small part to Evans's layered and convincing turn as Maggie, a journeywoman actor who seems to be carrying the brunt of breadwinning for her family. 66 -Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader

Reno Lovison, Chicago Theatre & Arts . Photo by Steven Townshend Feeling the need for an actress who could stand up to him, Gleason liked to spar with Kelton who played a more aggressive and caustic Alice that was different from the later, stern but warm, preson portrayal by Meadows. Evans gives us a more outspoken Carlin with a bit more Brooklyn attitude and fiery independence.

The author in red puffy coat carrying a beluga whale plushie though snow covered Chicago.
I just typed the words ‘end of play’. The photo is of me right after a visit to the Shedd Aquarium. The two events are connected by the smile on my face. #playwright #chicagotheatre #theatresky also Beluga whales are awesome.
