I Killed Andy Breitbart is a sharp, funny, and timely solo show that unpacks media manipulation and political spin through a deeply personal story. The performance recounts how a small Chicago theater company became collateral damage in a national political battle after Andrew Breitbart, creator of Breitbart.com, wrote about their 1998 production The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, for which then-State Senator Barack Obama served on a post-play panel. The article sparked a tornado of conspiracy theories and vitriol, making the producer a target of forces aiming to prevent President Obama's reelection.

The solo performer weaves a moving narrative that blends personal storytelling with a broader commentary on the media landscape, making it a compelling experience for those interested in politics, theater, and the intersection of the two.
