Story Jam creates a singular experience with its combination of writers, actors, dancers, musicians, and storytellers.
Story Jam's next storytelling show-in a series of monthly shows at Artifact Events
-will take place on Wednesday, September 28 at 7:30 PM at 4325 N. Ravenswood Avenue in Chicago. "Story Duets with Ian Maksin" is a storytelling collaboration with three sets of duet storytellers (who share personal stories told in tandem) and cellist Ian Maksin. The storytellers will share crafted, true stories and Mr. Maksin will respond to the stories with improvised
looping pedals and cello music.
Story Jam is known for crafted personal stories, excellent musicianship, and bringing high energy, social awareness, and diversity to the Chicago storytelling scene.
Perfect for music lovers or listeners of personal narrative podcasts, Story Jam creates a
singular experience with its combination of writers, actors, dancers, musicians, and
storytellers. There is no other storytelling show merging clever songs with true, personal
stories. September's performance will be unique as it features three sets of paired
storytellers.
"Story Jam is so incredibly unique, like nothing else out there."
