Sandy Rustin was raised in Chicago, attended New Trier and Northwestern University. Soon the success began for this Chicagoan whose talents include acting, voiceover and most critically, award winning playwrighting. As an actor, she toured as Sandy in the national tour of Grease and also appeared in “I Love you, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” along with a host of television programs like “Inside Amy Schumer,” “Law and Order,” and “All My Children”
Choosing to raise a family, Sandy decided to concentrate her efforts on playwriting and the list is a mile long. From her adaptation of the classic movie/game “CLUE” for the stage and her adaptation of “Mystic Pizza” from the screen, she also wrote “The Cottage” an original comedy that was directed by Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) and which starred Eric McCormack (Will and Grace) and Laura Bell Bundy.’ Plus so many more including the recent hit “Always Something There” which enjoyed its world premiere at Marriott Lincolnshire’s Theatre in the Round.
Sandy agreed to an extended chat about her career and how the various pieces came about and fit together. A true Chicago story…..quite clearly on her way to Chicago legendary status in a career that has a long way to go!!
