Event Description:
Evening opens with live music at 7:00 pm and stories begin at 7:30! Enjoy an evening of live music and curated professional storytellers in our John & Nancy Hughes Theater. If you enjoy the art of storytelling, you’ll love our in-person show where curator and producer Scott Whitehair brings tellers from around the country to entertain and inspire you! Scott Whitehair is a storyteller, producer, and teacher from Chicago, IL. He is the host of This Much Is True, the city’s longest-running monthly storytelling series, creator of Story Lab Chicago, recently mentioned in Forbes and Newsweek, which has put 600+ new and first-time tellers on stage since 2011, and director of Do Not Submit, a citywide network of open mics with the goal of creating empathy among neighbors. He tells stories anywhere someone will listen, which has included Steppenwolf Theater, The National Storytelling Festival’s Exchange Place, and on NPR and The Risk Podcast. Scott teaches a perpetually sold-out monthly class, and trains corporations, non-profits, and individuals to find their voices. In 2014, he was the featured instructor at Hong Kong Story Worthy Week, headlined by David Sedaris. *THIS PROGRAM MAY CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT* Cash bar/concessions will be available for sale during the show.
