The oldest human art form takes center stage. After selling out in SF, Philly, and Detroit, the inaugural season of Chicago Story Fest is finally here.
What is Story Fest:
A live show featuring award-winning journalists, writers, locals and comedians; short film and dance; live music and performance. A show by and for the people of Chicago.
The ways in which stories are told are as diverse as what the stories themselves are about. From true crime to comedy, politics to poetics, Story Fest invites you to experience a brief and piercing look into the soul of the city.
The theme for this season is Villains: stories about what we fear, what we misunderstand, and what we become.
Our mainstage show at the Athenaeum Center is for one night only.
What might you encounter? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Presenting Sponsor:
Americans United for Separation of Church and State. For nearly 80 years, Americans United has defended church-state separation – a pillar of our democracy and the best way to ensure freedom without favor and equality without exception for all.
