Birthday Bash 2027

the annual party celebrating & supporting 2nd Story

April 10, 2027
Doors @ 7 pm || Stories @ 8 pm

2nd Story's 28th season, On Purpose, is an exploration of what it means to live with intention — the communities we build, the choices we make, the moments we choose to stand up. Through live personal storytelling performances in Chicago, we invite you to examine your own life in a threshold time like this one. Check back closer to the date to learn more about the stories on tap for this evening, but while you’re here, go ahead and check out the artists working on this show and reserve your seat!
