“Dexter Bullard, 38, is an anomaly in Chicago: a major director, steeped in improv, who has yet to work with Steppenwolf (beyond a couple of workshops) or the Goodman, the Court, Writers’ Theatre, Victory Gardens or Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Nor has he really tried to work at any of those places, keeping busy at other venues, including A Red Orchid, Famous Door, Next Lab, American Theatre Company and other low-paying, high-freedom outposts.”
