2nd Story at Spill the Wine: Together Apart: Stories of Connection

2nd Story, the Chicago-based literary and theatrical ensemble, brings its innovative and personal style of storytelling to Spill the Wine, one of the Twin Cities' finest wine bars located in the Theater District.

The experiences we share with other people often lead to our most powerful discoveries. Whether our contact with them is fleeting or forever, certain people can change the trajectory of our lives. Join 2nd Story on Sunday December 2nd, for a special tour stop in Minneapolis as we bring you stories of connections. From a summer job at Sea World that introduces a young man to an individual of extraordinary strength, to a friendship so powerful it could function as an alternative to marriage, this winter 2nd Story comes to Minneapolis with stories of the human connections that change lives.

Tickets: $15 online (http://2ndstory.com/events/2nd-story-in-mn); $20 cash only at door

About 2nd Story:

2nd Story is a Chicago-based collective of writers, actors, directors, curators, and musicians who collaborate to create and host storytelling events in Chicago and beyond. 2nd Story believes that sharing personal, real stories is instrumental in building community.

The stories range from the serious to the silly and can at once provoke and entertain. Each story is combined with expertly-performed musical accompaniment or well-placed audio accents to enhance the spoken story and the pregnant pause.

We also run classes and workshops, in order to empower individuals to be the storytellers of their own lives. Our training program is based in our core beliefs of the power of ensemble and sharing stories, and is geared both towards artists/writers/performers seeking to hone their technique and individuals with no experience at all who just love what we do and want to deepen their own creative practice.
