SAG-AFTRA Chicago Conservatory Committee Presents:

"THINGS I WISH I HAD KNOWN"

Join us via Zoom as we gather for 'Things I Wish I Had Known'  — an inspiring and intimate conversation with some of Chicago's professional actors as they share pivotal moments in their careers and the invaluable lessons they’ve learned along the way. In this candid panel discussion, our experienced panelists will reflect on their various journeys in the industry — offering advice they wish they had known when they first started. From navigating the early days of their careers to handling the pressures of big budget projects, dealing with setbacks, and finding personal and professional growth, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from those who’ve been through it all!

This panel offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the hard-earned insights that have shaped the varied professional paths of accomplished artists. Whether you're an actor just starting your professional journey, a longtime fan, or simply someone interested in the art of storytelling, this event promises to offer valuable takeaways about perseverance, self-discovery, and the unpredictable path to success.

Don’t miss the chance to hear from those who’ve lived it firsthand and discover the things they wish they had known when they first started out!

(Panelist bios forthcoming!)
