Don't Give Up
I'm being selfish today and writing this post for myself. Dear Jillian, I know you're feeling a little down. I know you're feeling like you're treading water with concrete blocks on your feet. I know you look at your friends and family members and wonder if you should give up your pursuit of acting and choose a career that would readily give you the money and security and stuff that you want. It's so tempting to throw your hands up in the air and say, "I give up!" on days whe

The Film Side of Things
With everything that has been going on with my theatre career, I realized I needed to do a catch-up post on all the wonderful film projects I have been (and will be??) working on!

I was in highschool and senior year my ridiculously talented and beautiful friend Angie Fisher was cast in the Illinois All-State Musical "Hairspray!" Each cast member's school was g

Flashback Friday: Brush With Fame
It was this time a few years ago that my family and I were on one of our annual trips to Chicago to celebrate the holidays. We had spent the day walking up and down Michigan Avenue, and had decided to stop into The Chicago Place to take a small repose from the piercing wind and jostling crowds. Now, I love Chicago in the winter, especially right before Christmas--the lights, the carriages, the snow. But apparently not many people find the city quite as magical and wonderful a
