Ireon Roach is one of Chicago’s most promising young artists. She is a founding ensemble member of The Yard Theatre, an award winning slam poet and the 2016 winner of the August Wilson Monologue contest. I sat down with Ireon to discuss her work and what young artists have to contribute to the Chicago Theatre scene.

You can catch the full interview in season 2, coming this Fall.  Follow us on Twitter (@SpielChicago) and Facebook for the latest info and updates.  See you at the theatre!
