Six Stories Up on Mt. Everest

Tellin’ Tales Theatre presents Six Stories Up on Mt. Everest.

Each year, six Chicago storytellers are paired with six middle school children to write six, ten-minute long theater pieces. Each team is encouraged to base their vignette on personal stories. These vignettes are then combined to create a full-length show. Adults and children with and without disabilities, of all races and income levels work together on equal terms. Both adults and children learn lifelong lessons, self-esteem blossoms, and community is built where none existed before.
