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!
Learn more about everything from buying tickets to accessibility from our Frequently Asked Performance Questions.
Curators are 2nd Story pros who use their experience and craft to help guide the storytellers through the experience of writing and revising their stories. Check back for words from this performance’s curator about what you’ll hear and see at the show.
