Get ready for a high-wire act where the safety net is made of laughter and there’s absolutely no script in sight.
Tellin’ Tales presents “What’s Yours Like?”. For the past three years, this powerhouse crew from Tellin’ Tales Theatre has been tearing up stages across Chicago, proving that the best stories aren’t written—they’re lived in real-time. They’re on a mission to smash every barrier between the disabled and non-disabled worlds, and they’re doing it one hilarious, unpredictable scene at a time.

“I feel that Six Stories Up has had a huge impact on Tiernan’s childhood. He tried one or two programs before but never went back after the first week because he felt like he didn’t fit in. He now calls himself an actor and feels that the program has shown him there’s nothing he can’t do.” —Daphne Tajalli
As you can see with Tiernan, and so many others, Tellin’ Tales Theatre’s programs helps mold the futures of our participants. You can support our mission with your time as a volunteer or ambassador, with a financial gift or through in-kind contributions. Please consider making a gift to Tellin’ Tales now. 85% of all donations go directly to the mission.
