A Chicago Bears fan. A Green Bay Packers fan. Romeo and Juliet?

That's how Chicago actress and comedy writer Katherine Biskupic imagines it.

She co-wrote and stars in this parody sketch released Tuesday, just in time for Packers-Bears week.

That's co-writer Ryan Thomas Bennett as Romeo.

Biskupic may live in Chicago, but she says "my roots are in Wisconsin." She's from Appleton, a graduate of Appleton North High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her acting credentials include Door Shakespeare, a summer theater in Door County.

Her Packers credentials are impeccable. Biskupic is the granddaughter of Ron Kostelnik, a defensive lineman for the Packers from 1961 to 1968.
