bullet Chas Vrba
 
 
     

Born Charles Edward Vrba on February 2, 1972 to Charles A. Vrba and Paula Dumas Vrba at Evanston Hospital in Evanston, Illinois, "Chas" as he would later be called weighed in at 6lbs and 10oz. The attending doctor was David Danforth and the nurses were Margret Gunn and Candy Knight. Since 5:15 pm on that Groundhog's Day in 1972 Chas has been quite busy. He joined the Factory in 2000. He has appeared in Poppin' & Lockdown, Captain Raspberry, Endzone, Goooooo! Speech Team!, Variations on Death, Lab Rats, and White Trash Wedding and a Funeral. He has also lent his amazing talents and infinite modesty to companies such as Defiant Theatre, Raven Theatre, The Journeymen, European Rep., and Steppenwolf among

 
 
  others. In film, you won't see him in Normal Life where his poignant portrayal of the "Cruising Loser" opposite the lovely Ashley Judd wound up on the cutting room floor. (Maybe the DVD release will have outtakes???) A true blue Chicagoan, Chas offers up the following favorites. Best Pizza: Lou Malnati's Best Hot Dog: Byron's Best Record Store: Dusty Groove Best Statue: those huddling people at Diversey & Sheridan Best CTA bus route: 37 Sedgwick. Chas currently serves as the Factory's Managing Director.
