This was recorded several months ago but not too long after Saturday Night Live celebrated it's 50th Anniversary. Gary Kroger is an alum of SNL from the 80s. In this podcast he talks about his love for theatre as a child through his High School years, then on to Northwestern University. Finally he talks about getting into Chicago's 2nd City Acting Troupe.
