Story Club North Side
Theme: Labor Pains
Holiday Club, 4000 N Sheridan Rd

It’s a struggle.
To get up.
To get it up.
To rise up.
But all of the best parts of this world are worth fighting for.
So let’s talk about the hard things.
The ones we didn’t think we deserved.
The ones we demanded.
The ones we made real.
And let’s talk about how much it sucked to get there.
About how worth it it was to do it anyway.
And how there’s still so much more to do.
Fortitude, strength, pushing, creating, adapting, teaching, shaping, doing the real work.
This month is all about Labor Pains, and what it takes to get shit done.
So grab your sign and join our union of tellers including:
Paul Teodo
Rebecca Anderson
Monica Eng
And if you want a turn on the megaphone, sign up for an Open Mic spot to share your own story of making it happen, surviving your own battles, or anything at all, since Open Mic slots don’t have to be on-theme!

Is it where the heart is?
Is it where you hang your hat?
Is it at one end of a baseball diamond?
Where IS it?

and they will tell us what home really means.

In addition to this month's usual 90 minute event,
Story Club South Side will be conducting a FREE, fun, informal storytelling workshop
before the show for anyone interested in joining the live lit scene
or working on their storytelling abilities. Participants are encouraged to bring stories,
