Now imagine, it's 6:30 PM on 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!

We are not sticklers about food, as long as it can be cut up and shared you get in to the show. We've had a group of four best friends gather together before the show to cook a four-course meal style extravaganzas and we've had broke college kids come with a 75 cent bag of Skittles. We popped it open and poured it into a cup to share.
If you want suggestions, main dishes are always super enjoyed. Bringing drinks also a bonus. (We always provide water.)
