SUMMARY:A Night Out with Andrew Rannells at Music Box Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Does a job\, a home\, and a killer wardrobe make you a true adult? Andrew Rannells isn’t so sure. If he’s so successful in his forties\, then why does he still feel like an anxious twenty-something? Were the triumphs of his life actually failures? And were his failures his real triumphs? At Chicago Humanities\, the Tony-nominated actor will sit down for a witty\, fun\, and poignant conversation that looks back over his career– from the Broadway stage (The Book of Mormon) to the silver screen (Girls\, Big Mouth)–to ask what success and “adulting” really mean and whether he will ever feel like he has enough. \nA book signing will follow this program. \nThis event will have open captions\, audio description\, and ALDs. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/andrew-rannells/
