STORIES ON STAGE


Once upon a time...


quiet as could be, you waited anxiously for the story to begin. You were about to leave on a journey of the imagination that conquered time and distance and entered into the intimate lives of strangers. That magic can be yours again.

“Stories on Stage,” Chicago’s only live dramatic short story reading series, presents some of the world's most compelling literature—performed by Chicago's finest actors. These performances are presented live in Chicago at Steppenwolf Theatre Company as part of the Traffic Jam series.

“Stories on Stage” provides an opportunity for Chicago-area artists and audiences to participate in and experience this special merging of the literary and dramatic arts. Each program features three or four stories sharing a common theme.
