APES IN CHARGE
Don Hall — publisher, co-editor-in-chief
Don Hall is a writer, teacher, and artistic mercenary.
In the past forty years, Don has worn many hats—Events Director for both nonprofit and commercial radio, Promotions Director, freelance copywriter, casino operations manager in Vegas, Chicago public school music teacher, Moth story slam host, Off Loop theatrical producer/director, Front of House Manager for Chicago’s Millennium Park, NPR’s “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” and the historic Auditorium Theatre, professional trumpet player, and one-time homeless busker. Like each random gig is a chapter in a novel written by a lunatic.
Hall commits to a daily routine of writing too much, drinking too much, and railing against the dying of the light.
