Every person’s life changes: sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once, sometimes in ways we want them to but just as often in ways we’d rather they didn’t. One mind disappears while another slowly fades away. One person becomes a ghost, but another then becomes a perfect memory. One home vanishes, but another arises ready to take its place. In this edition of 2nd Story, our tellers present three new stories of looking back, of moving forward, and of how and where we find the strength to face whatever may await us over the horizon.

““There is just something so humane about a 2nd Story show. The emotions from story to story run the gamut—fear, joy, grief, celebration, surprise, insight, irony, humor. But running through all of them is this endearing and enduring sense of humanity, unshaded by a commercial angle or necessity, just civil, thoughtful, and always memorable.””
““We know that 2nd Story events are always going to be good.””
“I don’t know the last time I didn’t look at my phone for two hours.”
