About Story Club
Story Club started in Chicago back in 2009. Its founder, Dana Norris, wanted to mix the spontaneity of an open mic with the experience of live theater. She created a forum for writers/performers to display their nonfiction storytelling prowess, be it memorized or read from the page.
Story Club quickly grew and now includes multiple shows across the county, including two in Chicago and another in Minneapolis. We've had everyone from college history professors to New York Times Bestselling authors to members of an all-girl Beastie Boys cover band step up to our mic and share their stories. Want to start a Story Club in your town, or even in your neighborhood? Email Dana today and get this thing started.
