Hey, my little chickadees. Our workshop for the month of April will happen in Once at 7PM this Wednesday the 18th. If you haven’t told a story with us before and wish to, for our event on Thursday the 26th, you are required to attend the workshop.

To get the address, please write to me at kate[at]matadornetwork[dot]com with the subject line “workshop.” To be prepared, please have at least one idea about the story you want to tell. This month’s theme is I Can’t Help It. The theme is only meant to stimulate your thoughts, and it’s not absolutely necessary that the story you want to tell be related to the theme. We enjoy good stories much more than well-categorized ones, in other words.

It’s always nice if you want to bring a refreshment to share with the group. I hope to hear from you soon.

I can't help it. Photo: millicent_bystander. Click to go.

Hi, all. Our next event will take place on Thursday, April 26 at Sociedad de Comedia at Absinth Resto Bar (1695 B. Mitre) at 9:30PM. The theme is I Can’t Help It.

I’m also pleased to announce a new format. From now on, to emphasize the performance aspect Second Story Buenos Aires, it will no longer be possible for storytellers to read stories onstage.

Using notes will still be allowed, as will brief sections of reading for the purpose of accuracy in quotations. Outside that, straight reading will be permitted during Absurdly Out Loud only. In addition, time limits will be implemented a la The Moth.

Thanks for following Second Story, to all our storytellers, and those of you who support our performances. I hope to see you at the end of April!

Hello out there! I’m excited to say that this week’s show is going to be almost circus-like in its variety.

Storytellers from the evening include Beatrice Murch, Mrs.(!) Skye Lucking, Sonya Kunawicz, Jess White, Melanie Henderson, Rosie Hilder, token male Daniel Tunnard, Ana Carolina, and me (Kate Sedgwick).

Cover for the event is $20 pesos, doors open at 8PM and the show starts at 9PM.

Our new spot is at the Sociedad de Comedia in the basement of Absinth Resto Bar at B. Mitre 1695 (at the corner of Rodriguez Peña in Congreso).

You can reserve your spot for Second Story Buenos Aires, GrinGo! (the English language standup show held every Tuesday), and all the other shows put on by the Sociedad de Comedia at the reservations page on Facebook. While the sheet says events are $25, Second Story is still $20 pesos.
