About the Production

This evening of tales both personal and epic will showcase the work of UChicago storytellers in a cozy, casual, lounge environment.  Come sit and relax, laugh and cry, and listen to storytellers each spin a tale that has been curated and workshopped under the direction of Emily Hooper Lansana. 

For more than thirty years, Emily has performed and taught as a storyteller and shared her work with audiences throughout Chicago and across the country. She has been featured at the National Storytelling Festival, the National Association of Black Storytellers Festival, and at a variety of museums, colleges, and performance venues.
