Congratulations Stephanie Douglass
Here’s the Story has been a blessing.
For those that didn’t make it, this is going to be a podcast worth waiting for.
For now, take a quick look at some of the great pictures taken by Matt Szalinski and wish you were there live.

Thursday May 23rd Story Swap!
Here’s the Story will be hosting a Story Swap on may 23rd at Roman Susan Art Gallery.
Roman Susan is located at 1224 West Loyola Avenue.
We will be there from 7-9.
We hope to see a lot of journiers there to share stories about the race. I have a couple I’m really looking forward too sharing with people.
The way the evening will work is that we will sit down share some pizza, (feel free to bring food, wine or drinks,) take in the art and if anyone has a story to tell, we’ll listen. Simple as that.
We will be picking up 2 extra large pizzas and any Journey volunteers who show up get first dibs.
Thanks so much everyone who ran with us tonight, it was a real blast. Hope to see a bunch of you again if not on the 23rd than perhaps at another Here’s the Story NFP event or our Sept. 14th Journey.
Roman Susan Open Story Swap Facebook invite!

Congratulations and thank you to Polly Yukevich!
One of the cool things about Here’s the Story is that the audience gets a crack at being art director. You decide who features.
This month, it seems you think it might be pretty cool to have a musical act hit the stage next month. (No pressure, Polly!)
You can follow Polly on twitter, like we do, she’s @PollyYuke. And here is her website: http://yukesukes.com/
There were a lot of wonderful tellers and features and some fantastic hosting from Janna Sobel.
We look forward to seeing you all next month at Theater Wit. And through out this month at all the other great shows around town. Tell us your favorites in the comments!

May Here’s the Story!
Seems like new creative projects are springing up like wildflowers all over town! This season, Chicago people seem inventive and prolific; unafraid to dream new things up, smart enough to test them out within communities of resourceful friends, and willing to put in the work to make them happen.
I used to feel like there was a long distance between the dreams and ideas that lived inside me and the actual world; an almost unbridgeable gulf. I came to Chicago with a heart’s desire to learn to build such bridges, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to learn. Friends and colleagues here remind me daily of the powerful combination of want and will and wiles, and I am grateful. (I include a gracious tip of the hat, or curtsy… or something more gender neutral?… to my HtS collaborator Dan, for all he continues to teach and discover with me in this regard.)
Our next show features some awesome givers. People who are making and doing very cool things. Read on to learn more about them!

Thanks to Kelli Honeysweet who will be returning May 5th to feature with us again!
Thanks so much Kelli Honeysweet! We look forward to seeing you again May 5th.
What an amazing turn out! So many new faces. So many stalwart friends.
I’m going to come out and say it, at about 7:45 I thought, “There is no way we are going to fill this place.” I was super duper wrong.
To all the people standing in the bleachers, thank you soooo much! I wish we could have put more seats down but the fire marshal came by Stage773 and was like, 148 seats and no more! You were troopers galore.
One of the things I love about Here’s the Story is how all of you hold up the tellers. How attentively you actively listen. Seasoned professionals. Friends. Strangers. They all get the same amount of respect and attention.

April 7th Features
Guys! We are proud to present another entirely fancy collection of people coming to tell you stories on April 7th. These magnificent folks, plus the opportunity for unknown goodness offered by our five open walk-up slots, are likely to equal yet another wonderful night.
If YOU feel you might have a story pulling on your sleeve to tell it, we say give it a voice! Just practice a little, make sure it rounds out in about 6-7 minutes, take a deep breath and jump. It can seem a little scary to go solo, but people almost always report that it is fun and exciting and transformative in ways they never expected. So if you’ve got something good to give, come give it away.
Read on to find out more about the folks who will definitely be doing the same on April 7th!
Here’s the Story on April 7th

Congratulations and thanks sent to Jesse! We look forward to seeing you April 7th!
Another successful show. If I don’t say so myself. Love and food and camaraderie, and hard words, and easy words, and music and a super hero or two. Sort of a perfect mix! Perhaps a magical potion of words and listening, if one will.
