Robot Apocalypse, Journey to the End of the Night.
Is a collaborative narrative art experience. Participants meet at the starting location and are given a treasure map to three secret locations. They will be able to walk or take public transit to get to each one. At these secret locations, there will be volunteers and performers to interact with.
The overall route will be at least 3 miles and encourage people to gain a new perspective on the city as they navigate a mix of walking, running, and public transportation.
In the end, we will collect data on who made it to the finish, and listen to the stories of the participants and volunteers about the unique interactions they had. We will then weave those stories together and announce the ending of the story to all who attend the award ceremony. (Fun Awards will be given for participation.)
For the organizers the professional development opportunities are as follows:
Performers
Share their work and creativity building out a resume of having worked on a major collaborative event.
Volunteers
Lead checkpoint staff
Will manage 1-5 other volunteers

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.
