Evanston Native & Current Resident Performs in Storytelling Fest

Evanston native and current resident Nona Flores, performs her original work I Sleep With Dogs in Lifeline Theatre’s 25th Annual Fillet of Solo Festival, running virtually January 21- February 13.

Nona Flores grew up in Evanston and attended Evanston Township High School as a youth in the community. Her piece, I Sleep With Dogs, is both written and performed by her. The biggest insight we have into her work is its description, “The wet spot on the bed is snot.” Evanston residents, you’ll have to tune in to hear her story enfold.

Celebrating the breadth of Chicago’s enduring storytelling and live-lit scene, Lifeline virtually brings 10 storytelling collectives and 28 solo performers together from all over the country in a three-week online gallery of powerful, personal stories.

The 2022 Fillet of Solo Festival will stream online via a password-protected website where ticket holders will have access to the full lineup of stories until the Festival concludes. Ticket prices are “Name Your Price” (suggested $45) for access to the gallery for the full three weeks PLUS live virtual extras including panel discussions and storytelling workshops with Festival artists. Tickets are now available for purchase by calling the Lifeline Box Office, 773.761.4477, or by visiting www.lifelinetheatre.com.

Now in its 39th season, Lifeline Theatre continues to explore, interpret, and reimagine books and other literary works to create stories that move us beyond the margins of our own lives.
