About This Show

June Bug Versus Hurricane is an intensely candid reflection by young Kentucky-born actress Erin Chandler on her early life to the present. This 14-actor presentation is a vivid retelling of her connection to power and tragedy. Her grandfather, Happy Chandler was two time governor of Kentucky, later Eisenhower’s U.S. Baseball Commissioner who famously mandated that Jackie Robinson be admitted to the major league; the first black to be so enlisted. Her father flourished as one of Las Vegas’ most notorious hotel executives. Her brother Chan died accidentally while playing a game of Russian roulette epitomizing a promising young life that seemed to be always slowly disintegrating into a path of increasingly drugged self destruction. The actress/playwright survived all of these extremes and eventually found sobriety, success, and transcendence.
