From the comedic minds behind The Colbert Report and Fifty Shades! The Musical, Underscore Theatre Company is pleased to present the world premiere musical comedy THE STORY OF A STORY (THE UNTOLD STORY) with book and lyrics by Peter Gwinn, music by Jody Shelton, direction and choreography by Christopher Pazdernik, music direction and orchestrations by David Kornfeld. THE STORY OF A STORY (THE UNTOLD STORY) will play October 3 - November 8, 2015 at the Chopin Theatre, 1543 W. Division St. in Chicago. Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, September 1 atwww.underscoretheatre.org or by calling (312) 646-0975. The press opening is Tuesday, October 6 at 7:30 pm.

Journey through a magical dimension, and join a rebel band of cliches, like the Cop Three Days Away From Retirement, the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, the Fiery Latin Lover, the Cuban Drug Lord, and way, way more on their hero’s journey to defeat an evil tyrant (and lazy storytelling), become three-dimensional characters, and totally save the world…or become trapped in predictable, well-worn territory…forever.

This production has been recommended by the Chicago Reader, Chicago Critic, and the Jeff Awards. Critics are calling it "Bold," "high-octane," and "pee-your-pants funny!"

Performs Fridays & Saturdays at 9pm, Sundays at 4pm, and Mondays at 7:30pm through November 8th.
