Scott Rose Brings One-Man Show Computer Geek to Chicago, Beginning April 13

Apple Computer expert Scott Rose, a Glenview, Illinois native, is teaming with director Richard Kline (of "Three's Company" fame) to bring his one-man show, Computer Geek: One Nerd's Search For His Soulmate to Chicago stages. Computer Geek plays every Thursday at 8 p.m. beginning April 13, 2006 for an open run at the Improv Olympic (3541 N. Clark St.).

"Scott Rose turns 'geek" into 'chic' as he moves his critically acclaimed show from Hollywood to Chicago," according to press notes. "Rose combines his brutally honest personal storyline and his professional expertise of Apple computers, bringing a universal message of love and hope, alongside an amazing story of big belly laughs."

While Apple Computer celebrates its 30th birthday this year, Rose celebrates Apple computers every single day. He commented, "In the show, I talk about how my first Apple computer just GOT me – how she understood me on a deep spiritual level and basically became my first major relationship. But my problem has been accepting the fact that humans, unlike machines, are imperfect. That's one of the many underlying themes of the show."

Rose, 34, is a professional actor, host, and improviser who recently moved back home to Chicago after living for 16 years in Los Angeles. He is one of the top professional speakers for Apple Computer at their events nationwide, and is also the president of ScottWorld, a Macintosh consulting and programming firm. In 2004, Rose played demon tour guide in the hit play Hollywood Hellhouse with Bill Maher, Andy Richter, Sarah Silverman, Penn Jillette, Richard Belzer, and many other celebrities.

Tickets for the show are $14 and can be purchased by calling the Improv Olympic box office (773) 880-0199. For more information visit www.computergeekshow.com.
