Diana Slickman has been involved with a number of Chicago theatre companies as a performer, producer, director, writer, and administrator, sometimes all at the same time. A longtime member of the Neo-Futurists, she performed in their signature show “Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind” for eight years and contributed to many of their “prime time” productions, including Drinking & Writing, You Are Not Here, and The Sycamore Story. She is currently a member of Theatre Oobleck’s artistic ensemble, having appeared in their productions of The Trojan Candidate, Spirits to Enforce, The Passion of the Bush, The Book of Grendel, Letter Purloined and Spukt.

Diana’s performance work has included all manner of things, from the plays of Shakespeare to standup comedy to a staged chronicle of the evolution of American obscenity law. She is the sometime associate publisher for Hope & Nonthings and full-time associate publisher for Agate Publishing. Diana prefers summer to winter, baseball to football, scotch whisky to beer, and the mountains to the seaside.
