BIG LOVE, 2024 Tyler Anthony Smith & Rachel Laureano
Established in 2021, [producingbody] is an artistic incubator based in Chicago, IL. Currently led by Amy Carpenter and Taylor Dalton, its aim is to facilitate and support the creation of accessible, independently-produced theatre and performance art. Our process is artist-centered; from rehearsals to design to ticketing, we hope to provide the Chicago creative community with a new vision for ensemble-based theatre that is emboldened to take creative risks while prioritizing the well-being of all artists.

[reviews]
From the moment the lights dim, audiences are swept into a whirlwind of emotions, propelled by the sheer intensity of the performances. The cast, meticulously selected and impeccably directed by Amy Carpenter, breathes life into Mee’s characters, infusing each scene with raw authenticity and unbridled passion…viewers are treated to a symphony of theatrical elements—choreography that mesmerizes, vocals that enchant, and a palpable energy that reverberates throughout the venue.
