The Lifeline Storytelling Project Announces Launch Party, 8/19

The Lifeline Storytelling Project Launch Party

The Lifeline Storytelling Project (LSP) produces monthly live music & storytelling events designed to develop and showcase young artists affiliated with Lifeline Theatre. Since its creation in 2011 by Lifeline Theatre Artistic DirectorDorothy Milne, LSP has sought to play an active part in the growth of the Chicago storytelling and Live Lit scene. LSP members participate in ongoing writing workshops, share their true stories in Rogers Park venues for an ever-growing audience of fans and friends, and take part in the annual Fillet of Solo Festival (hosted by Lifeline Theatre since 2010). More information at www.lifelinestorytellingproject.com, and visit www.facebook.com/lifeline.storytelling.project for up-to-date performance news.

For two years LSP has been performing largely under-the-radar, hopping from venue to venue on a sporadic schedule. Now, to celebrate its new public face and commitment to regular, monthly performances partnered with Red Line Tap, Lifeline Theatre is thrilled to announce a FREE launch party event featuring the stories of LSP members Katie Adams,Jessica Wright Buha, Georgia Knapp, Alex Kyger, Darren Meyers, Amanda Link, and Andrew Stam; with a live performance by musical guest (and LSP member) Emily Dillard and a group writing jam session.

CTA Red Line. Street parking is available.

WHEN: Monday, August 19, 7 p.m.

ADMISSION: FREE. The Red Line Tap will provide drink specials for the event and is a 21 and over venue.

Now in its 31st season, Lifeline Theatre specializes in original literary adaptations.
