The Story Luck Show: Chicago's Storytelling Potluck

Picture this: It's 6:30 PM on a Sunday evening.

The lobby of Theater Wit fills with the aroma of homemade dishes as storytellers and story-lovers alike gather, each bringing their own contribution to our monthly feast. Some arrive with generations-old recipes, others with their favorite takeout – but everyone brings their appetite for connection.

By 7:00 PM, you'll find yourself seated in our intimate theater space, plate full of community-crafted delicacies, ready to experience Chicago's most unique storytelling show. Here, professional performers share the stage with first-time tellers, each voice adding its own flavor to the evening's narrative feast.

At The Story Luck Show you're an artistic director, so listen closely!

You're not just an audience member – you're part of the show's DNA. Armed with 40 points to award to our open mic performers, you help choose next month's featured teller. Your thoughts shape future shows. You've got agency because when you are listening with delight and intention, you remember the stories better.

When you go to work monday, you'll have a lot to talk about because, The Story Luck Show is a show worth telling stories about!

And if you're really brave, there's 4 open mic slots for first time tellers.
