Chicago alum noticed by theatre critic

In the October 27, 2006, Chicago Tribune, theater critic Chris Jones named Northwestern College alum Cora Vander Broek one of five "scene stealers" for her acting in Griffin Theatre Company's revival of Sidney Kingsley's "Dead End." Vander Broek, who graduated from Northwestern in 2000, has acted in numerous plays on a number of Chicago stages, including "The Book of Days" at Raven Theatre and "Being 11" at the Serendipity Theatre. "She seems to improve every ensemble in which she finds herself ," said Jones, adding "no Chicago fringe actress more deserves a shot at the big time." Read the Tribune story.
