ABOUT 2ND STORY
Founded and incorporated in 1999, 2nd Story is one of Chicago’s oldest storytelling organizations. We believe that sharing and listening to well-crafted, well-told stories fosters liberation and social change for audiences and artists alike.
2nd Story's programs include a full season of performances, classes and workshops for learners of all ages, and StoryBuilds, which provides our story-based professional development training to a wide range of businesses and organizations. A typical 2nd Story season consists of 10 performances, 2-3 special events/fundraisers, and 6-8 classes and workshops. Through our StoryBuilds program, we partner with 20-25 corporations, foundations and nonprofits, and schools and universities each season.
Still legally named Serendipity Theatre Company, we secured our Doing Business As paperwork in 2007, and have operated under the name 2nd Story since.
