2nd Story at Spill the Wine: Eyes Wide Open: Stories of Revelation

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.

2nd Story storytellers answer these questions: "Have you ever had a moment of complete awakening? Maybe someone surprised you with a secret side of themselves, or you experienced a moment of profound clarity?" These incidents can be scary and beautiful, and they often produce a level of insight that would’ve been impossible to attain otherwise. Join 2nd Story Friday on November 30th, for a special tour stop in Minneapolis as we bring you stories of the unknown. From a young man searching for Bigfoot while learning to drive to a woman stunned by the actions of her new crush, this winter 2nd Story comes to Minneapolis, and all will be revealed.

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