Kyle Harmon
Associate Company Member // Originally from St. Louis, MO (Go Cardinals!) Kyle Harmon attended his first professional baseball game at Busch Stadium around the age of 5. While his body may have matured since then…he has not. He has been seen doing a celebratory dance every time the Cardinals make it to the World Series. The first sighting of this dance was in 1982 and then again in 1985, 1987, and 2004. The most recent dance sighting was in October of 2006 at a dive bar on Milwaukee and Lawrence. Some say that was the best damn celebration dance anyone has ever seen. If you ask him nicely he might do it for you.

Debbie Hogan
New to 2nd Story, Debbie performs five times a day (no cover charge) for the toughest of all audiences—inner city high school students. Using humor and storytelling to teach the uninteresting to the uninterested, she is delighted to have the opportunity to move beyond grading the papers and performance of her English students to having her own work critiqued by the 2nd Story members and audiences. Armed with the support of her husband John and recently college-graduated daughter Holly, she is wiping the dust off long-forgotten pieces while she tries to breathe life into new ones. Past writing experience includes feature and news reporting and editing for University of Illinois student and faculty newspapers, publication of the article “It Remains a Tool” in a Roosevelt University anthology text, and screenwriting with Midwest Screenwriters Association. She has recently been honing her skills in both fiction and non-fiction writing classes at the University of Chicago. Thanks to Amanda and Megan for saying, “Yes, come aboard!”
