Directed by Dina Connolly.
The Brother/Sister Plays are three interconnected plays that are daring, funny and genuine. These multigenerational stories are grand in scope, yet intimate and heartfelt. 2nd Story approaches storytelling through a similar lens, attempting to uncover the universal aspects of all stories, and to honor the age-old tradition of telling stories to educate, inspire, and connect people to each other. Continue the dialogue of The Brother/Sister Plays with three tales from 2nd Story storytellers, who hope to inspire you to tell the next story.

What happens when your expectations take you on a detour? Join us as James, Earl, and April tell stories about the detours we end up on — from a drive down south, to a trek to India, to a surprise appearance by a ghost — and the lessons those detours teach.
A Note About Seating for performances at Red Kiva and Webster's Wine Bar
2nd Story is a very popular event with a very limited seating capacity. Show up early to get the seat that you want. Box office check-in begins at 6:30pm nightly. Seating begins at 7pm. We ask that all parties are complete before we seat them and we seat all parties in the order in which they arrive. Stories begin between 7:30pm and 7:45pm. Performances last roughly one hour and 45 minutes.
In addition, due to the communal nature of 2nd Story, you may be asked to share a table with a friendly stranger. We hope you don’t mind.
Keep checking back—we're adding more all the time!
Or join our mailing list and we'll let you know where we'll be.
