Roberta Miles, best known to Chicago audiences as a jazz singer and painter, is rapidly gaining a reputation for her irreverent autobiographical monologues that make up a tell-all expose of her quirky, edgy life. These monologues are the basis for her one-woman show, which debuted summer, 2009 at the StrawDog Theatre. Roberta has recently appeared with Jason Paul Smith at the Skokie Theatre Foundation in Skokie, Illinois in a two person show called "Hot Dish: The Monologues."

"These two women share some rather unsafe details from their lives without casting the audience as so many flies on the wall. The audience is their friend, with whom they have become close enough to share life's intimate stories. Loose Chicks is a name that has less to do with moral boundaries than with the boundaries between personal and private, between performing and sharing. DO NOT MISS the next chance to get to know the Loose Chicks." --Scott Hill, Chicago Stage Review
