BroadwayWorld Chicago is bringing you 10 on Tuesday, featuring artists in and around Chicago. This week's questionnaire filler-outer - the 1st national tour of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical's Sarah Bockel.

1) Go-to audition song or monologue? Hopefully sides.

2) Where Are You From? Chicago! Ravenswood specifically.

8) Describe the Chicago community in three words: Intimate, relevant, authentic.

9) Fill in the blank: "If I could change one thing about theatre in Chicago, it would be ..... to expand our audience base; to interest more people who 'normally don't come to the theatre' to get their butts in the seats. Whether that's by producing work that is real, inclusive, and applicable to everyone's daily lives or just marketing our shows better. We need to communicate important work to everyone not just other theatre artists."

10) Fill in the blank: "The thing I'd never change about theatre in Chicago is .... the people, the friends I've made and continue to meet while working. They make Chicago my home."
