You're Here to Make a Difference.
We've helped dozens of interns and volunteers produce amazing shows, online and live events. We are opening up this opportunity again. Your passions are best fulfilled when you can understand your why, and wrap that into a story framework. Narrative Performance is the key to connecting with your friends, family, coworkers and changing the systems around us. We all make decisions emotionally based on what we can understand.
Stories, parables, and even anecdotes are the key to communication.
When you sign up to volunteer with Story Luck, you'll be working on helping us get that message out and bolstering your own storytelling skills along the way.
3 New Projects, You Choose the One You Want to be Trained On.
- Detention Book Club.
You don't have to read the book, but you have to show up for Detention. A podcast streamed live on Twitch. (4 week commitment.) - The Slacker's Mastermind.
Here we meet once a week, to share our trials and tribulations and brainstorm positive actionable solutions. (10 week course.) - Building a Writing Habit Course.
This will be a Cohort for teaching people how to build a writing habit. Focusing on getting people to write 30 short essays in 30 days. (6 week commitment.)
One of these opportunities calls to you.
Respond to this ad and let us know which one feels like you can put your heart and soul into the project.
Once you respond here, we will work with you to set up a time to meet, virtually, to do an onboarding session. There we will get to know you, and you'll get a free 1 on 1 storytelling training. This will help us assess where you are at, on your storytelling journey.
After that, you'll be put on the daily email chain and be given projects and tasks to complete remotely as we get ready to launch these 3 products.
We are looking for 30min to 1hr a day for 4 weeks. After which, if all goes well and the chemistry is right there will be two paths. One, where you jump onto one of these projects as a core member, two, you brainstorm your own project and we help you bring that to fruition.
Story Luck's goal is to help people tell better stories about their lives. That includes you, and once you're finished with this volunteer position, whether you stay on with us, or move to your next project... you will be a better storyteller.

Mission Statement
Story Luck is a 501c3. Our main shows are at Theater Wit. Our mission: to bring together Chicago’s various creative communities, to connect with one another, to foster the art of telling and listening, to provide a platform of support for the work of known and developing storytellers, monologists, and solo performers. We listen to stories, tell stories, and create stories. We strive to make every event one worth telling about. Everything we publish is done so with an open license.
Description
The Story Luck show.
It is with great love for this city--which continues to be a heart and home for some of the most important cultural movements and artists of our century: musical, theatrical, literary, political, educational, architectural, comedic, scientific, philosophical, etcetera--that we wish to offer Chicago’s thinkers and creators a place to overlap, listen to, and be inspired by one another. We are interested in embodied storytelling as a form and as a medium for exchange.
In that spirit, we began these events with open story-swaps and continue to warmly welcome spontaneous, anyone-can-do-it style sharing. Now we feature 4 invited features and 4 open swap tellers from the audience. We also ask that the audience participate by awarding points to the open swappers. These points select one of the next featured tellers. To find four more features we search all of humanity’s various disciplines because life is an open swap and good stories come from everywhere. Along with our walk-up tellers our features share their stories generously with a group of supportive, delighted listeners.
Story Luck is the coming together of disparate communities to highlight, we all have stories worth listening to. As such it can only exist if we invite everyone. Come take part, because this entertainment is interactive. In the tradition of good story-swaps our evenings are potlucks, and all are invited to bring a dish to share.
