Next to each event you’ll see a little icon. We have a number of different series that we do; each series involves the same 2nd Story style of storytelling you love, but incorporates a different partner element. At our Stories & Wine series, you can opt to partake in a four-wine tasting, where each wine is paired with one of our stories. At our Stories & Live Music series, we partner with a band or single musician to sculpt the evening. At our Stories & Chefs events, we give a stellar chef four stories and they craft four courses inspired by those stories, and the audience gets to experience it all!
Have you ever felt like you wanted to explode? Maybe it was because you were holding a secret for someone, or because you felt bigger and beyond the stereotypical identity the world was trying to hand you? This June 2nd Story celebrates the 44th Annual Chicago PRIDE Week with a very special event in Strawdog Theater’s Hugen Hall. The night will feature our signature blend of words and sound, with three stories from the LGBT community about moments that made us want to explode. There will also be fabulous door prize giveaways all night, and DJ Swaguerrilla will keep us dancing into the night long after the stories end. That’s right folks, shine up your dancing sneakers, because once the stories end we will clear the chairs and dance until we faint. Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door if we have any left) which includes a free drink ticket, entry into the door prize giveaways, and the dance party. Join us as we celebrate PRIDE Week 2013 with “Can’t Hold Us: The 2nd Story PRIDE Party!
