FUN FACT: Ross Bryant, the actor/comedian in the fake fast food sandwich ads, is an original member of the Improvised Shakespeare Company, which has weekly performances in Chicago and LA, and will tour the country this fall.

that 2017 HAMLET at the Public was the best production of that play I've seen. My favorite Hamlet entrance was a pantless Oscar Isaac's and wearing a toilet seat. Magnifique!
