2nd Story is a hybrid performance event combining storytelling, wine, and music that is produced by the Serendipity Theater Collective as both a Monthly Performance Series and an annual festival. A typical 2nd Story evening is: you hang out with your friends, drink, four or five times during the night, the lights go down, a spot comes up on somebody and they tell you a story.

2nd Story: PRIDE on June 21st at @mosphere in Andersonville. Our storytellers for the night are: Byron Flitsch, April Newman, Deb Lewis, J. Adams Oaks, with a special guest story by Stephen Rader (Executive Director, Season of Concern) J. Adams Oaks and myself will be co-hosting the evening Stories drop at 7pm, and there’s a suggested donation of $10. Proceeds from the evening will go towards Season of Concern.

SO LUCKY to be Dj-ing alongside Reaganomix and Lady Bunny, an important icon in the queer canon. This night benefits Fish Out of Water, the Chicago-based film that will forever change the way we fight against oppressive “christians” that use the bible to shame us and justify their bigotry. Trailer for the film below.

Adam Rose’s Cheer-toh

June 11, 2009

It was right after his performance at the last Poonie’s that Adam Rose was crowned the new IT-boy in Chicago’s performance scene. I say that thankfully and without tongue in my cheek, as (with good reason) he has had the most startling bump in work opportunities since. His style is immediately recognizable and he has access to a clean, clear skill level not usually seen in modern. So it’s with great excitement that I post his contribution to Lucky Plush‘s experiment in intellectual property. This video is Rose’s Elena character hitting a bizarre mash of Butoh and Cheerleading while Stefen Robinson‘s musical editing chops kill Britney with some Japanese flutes. The real power of cheer, right here…DOPE!
