Romance is often a moving target. We chase and chase after love, but it continues to elude us. So why don't we just give up? Probably because when we do find love, even if for brief, fleeting moments, we realize how essential it is to the human experience. Join 2nd Story this Valentine's Day Weekend as our tellers share stories of the never ending search for love. From a grade school crush that never goes away, to a woman who finds the greatest love of all while visiting another continent, this Valentine's Day Weekend we have love in our sights.

Our 3rd Annual Anti-Valentine's Day Party with the Chicago Reader is sure to be the best yet! Taking place at Logan Square Auditorium this year, 2nd Story will once again be performing three world-premiere stories of dating woe, scored by live music. Valentines, on sale for two bucks each, will benefit Barrel of Monkeys, an arts education theater ensemble that works with some of the most under-served students in Chicago. It's easy: You see someone you like, you write them a valentine, and a Windy City Rollers will deliver it for you for $2, with all sales benefiting Barrel of Monkeys.

As humans we are constantly mixing. Two very different elements often come together to create something beautiful, and we want to celebrate that process. Join 2nd Story this March as our tellers share stories of the mixed experience. From a newlywed who is transplanted to different side of Chicago, to a man whose racial ambiguity has him constantly compared to a celebrity, this March we celebrate mixed roots.
A Note About Seating for performances at Morseland and Webster's Wine Bar
2nd Story is a very popular event with a very limited seating capacity. Show up early to get the seat that you want. Box office check-in begins at 6:30pm nightly. Seating begins at 7pm. We ask that all parties are complete before we seat them and we seat all parties in the order in which they arrive. Stories begin between 7:30pm and 7:45pm. Performances last roughly one hour and 45 minutes.
In addition, due to the communal nature of 2nd Story, you may be asked to share a table with a friendly stranger. We hope you don’t mind.
Keep checking back—we're adding more all the time!
Or join our mailing list and we'll let you know where we'll be.
