If these young artists represent the future of off-Loop theatre
we're in very good hands indeed"

- Albert Williams, Chicago Reader

Five notable Chicago writers come together for a celebration of storytelling written specifically for Theatre Seven. Some of the city's best in fiction, narrative, short story and solo performance construct autobiographical tales that are 100% true, theatricalized for the first time. A versatile nine-actor ensemble tackles more than 30 roles in this lifetime's worth of memories condensed into one night.

Critics Choice, Chicago Reader

"a first-rate piece of story theatre"

"crisp, funny, moving,
and utterly devoid of self-indulgence."

"the actors are precise, detailed, confident and emotionally authentic"

"directors Margot Bordelon and Cassandra Sanders maintain a pace that's brisk but never rushed"

-Albert Williams, Chicago Reader
