Seven writers, artists and advocates with disabilities take the stage with solo performances that delve into personal experiences that broke through their view of themselves and the world. Performances were written and directed in a seven week Master Class called “Everybody Has a Story” with Tellin’ Tales Theatre’s Artistic Director, Tekki Lomnicki. Participants were asked to delve deep to bring out their most soulful stories.
Sponsored by Access Living of Metropolitan Chicago, Beth Ann Bryant-Richards and Ed Richards, ReinventAbility and Chicago Urban Art Retreat.

“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
