Aaron Holland has been performing and drinking in and around Chicagoland since 2004. He\u2019s had the pleasure of working with everyone from Emerald City and Chicago Children\u2019s Theatre Company, to Hell in a Handbag, Steppenwolf and Bailiwick Chicago. Most recently, he got to get down in Seuss town with Chicago Shakespeare. Joining the Actor\u2019s Equity Association a couple years ago has freed up a lot more time for drinking in Aaron\u2019s life!

Alex has been drinking since the ripe legal age of 20 and spent many weekends without alcohol trying to convince himself he wasn’t totally reliant upon it. He bought it hook, line, and sinker and has now given himself permission to sit with a glass of red wine every night or a bourbon on the rocks if he’s playing dirty. Alex played day-drunk Yente awhile back and called a Chase Bank to hook his roommate up with a banker who would later become\u00a0a significant beau in her life.

When she’s not drinking in anyr of these places or alone\/with her husband and cat at home, she is an actor and teaching artist.

A singer, songwriter and actress, she has enjoyed singing and playing (and drinking, probably) in cabarets, theatre and the like all over the country for the past ten years. She also enjoys teaching private singing, acting and piano to kids a few days a week, which typically leads to more drinking afterwards, because what else are you supposed to do in that situation?

Andrew loves to occasionally get blackout drunk and wake up in a dumpster in Connecticut. It all started in high school, when his German exchange student friend, snuck in rum to a sleepover and everything got LIT. Usually, he drinks cheap wines and sangrias until he inevitably shatters his glass on the ground. He has been known to shoot whiskey and sometimes vodka, and then chase with some type of fruity b*tch drink, like a Seagrams or a Mike’s\u00a0Hard Lemonade.

\r\n

Kevin Lauerman is a blatant mess hailing from Washington DC. His hobbies include being a mess, and hanging out with messy friends. When not drinking, Kevin can be found being a mess…or smoking weed. Kevin is very proud to have found the bottle before he found acting. A self-professed “tragic trash child”, Kevin sometimes acts at the Metropolis Performing Arts Center, and he was recently seen on Chicago Fire. Prior drinking credits include Captain Morgan, Bacardi 151, Everclear, Firefly, Jack Daniels and MANY more. Cheers to my fellow slob kabobs!<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

And that, friends, is how Stangler drinks champagne. Out of a red solo cup. Anyway. After pursing a B.F.A. Musical Theatre degree from The University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, Kevin performed professionally around the US. While on the road, Kevin discovered the thrilling, thriving theatrical playground known to some as “Chicago Theatre.”\u00a0 He set up shop in 2008 and has been running rampant and having the time of his life ever since. He has worked professionally in film and theatre and has discovered his love for the powerfully present Chicago improv community. One of Kevin\u2019s most fortunate discoveries in […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Kit Satoh may be small, but her liver is mighty. Her violin\/piano duo Bow & Hammer makes sure to keep her in top drinking form, always partnering with different restaurants, bars, and local businesses for their events. Though classical music is Bow & Hammer\u2019s performance focus, she feels that practical experience of effusively consuming brandy, mescal, bourbon\u2026or\u2026any quality booze truly defines \u201cspirit\u201d. Never leaving home without a working knowledge of the local hydration, her residencies as Bow & Hammer have taken her through the US, Canada, and Italy, where she may have filled a hiking pack with wine bottles instead […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Landree Fleming is really bad at drinking, and often ok at acting. Sometimes she does comedy. Usually when she’s drinking. A Chicago-based actress, comedian, and writer, she’s worked with local companies like Marriott, FWD, Drury Lane, Porchlight, Chicago Shakes, TATC, Adventure Stage Chicago, Griffin and Buzz22 Chicago. Catch her with her musical sketch comedy group Off Off Broadzway or her ]other comedy group Indoor Kids. Buy her a glass of wine if you want to have a serious conversation, a shot of Jameo if you want to watch her yell at a stranger, tequila for secrets, and anything with vodka […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Her Chicago theatre credits include: Lizzie (Firebrand Theatre), Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story (American Blues Theatre), High Fidelity (Refuge Theatre Project, Jeff Award \u2013 Best Musical), Billy the Kid (composer, Cabinet of Curiosity Events), Big River and Pump Boys and Dinettes (Theatre at the Center), Ring of Fire (Mercury Theater Chicago), and Stupid F**ing Bird (Sideshow Theatre […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

After Party is insanely fun, so he\u2019s definitely not complaining, but Matt has no idea why he was asked to be involved with this; his alcohol tolerance has not gotten any stronger since he got totally wasted for the first time at his uncle\u2019s wedding when he was twelve.

Megan Elk is an happily married cat lady who, in a past life, wrote and performed under the cabaret pseudonym, Miss Alexandra Huntingdon (don’t ask). When she’s not behind the bar at Davenport’s, she’s probably thrift store shopping, travelling to states where recreational marijuana is legal, or insistently attending auditions for roles that she is “not right for”.\u00a0 If you’d like to see the website she continues to pay for, but hasn’t updated in 2 years, please visit:\u00a0www.meganelk.com\u00a0and buy her music and stuff.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

After a number of years playing keys and singing with the One Hit Wonders, Molly now spends her time behind the mic with Todd Kessler & the New Folk, Bluewater Kings Band and Underwater People. So basically, if you need some rocking, she’s your girl. If you need someone to chug a craft beer, she’s also your girl. It’s important to have a wide skill […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

Mollyanne is a below average pool player and an above average chess player. Both skills decline drastically when paired with alcohol.
