giftLIT SALON

  • Community Tavern 4038 North Milwaukee Avenue Chicago, IL, 60641 United States (map)

AN INTIMATE STORYTELLING EVENT INSPIRED BY THE GIFT THEATRE'S UPCOMING PRODUCTION, HANG MAN!

The giftLIT salons happen several times a year at Community Tavern. A salon has historically been defined as “a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of participants through conversation.”  What does that mean to the Gift?  It means we round up a diverse group of writers and performers--some experienced, some rookies, some comedians, some poets.  We give them all the same prompt and ask them to tell their stories while we drink good wine and eat good food.  Both Community and the Gift believe that these story-sharing experiences create meaningful connections among individuals and within our community.

Our February salon prompt is: “And a Child Shall Lead Them.” Come out and hear what our storytellers do with this one.  We have two published and celebrated authors, a college professor/illustrator, and a student who’s still deciding what she wants to do with her life.  

Please purchase tickets for this event online in order to ensure a seat.
Doors open at 8pm!
