About Event

February! Groundhogs, snowstorms, love, we guess. Fiction also.

A quick note about some access issues attendees have been experiencing with the lu.ma links: it seems like our call security settings are clashing with the ticketing platform, preventing people from simply clicking on the call link once it's live. If this happens, don't sweat! Open the actual Zoom app and select "Join a Meeting," then paste the entire call link from lu.ma into the field provided in the next window. (You can, of course, also log in first and then do the same Join a Meeting process from within the app.) You may need to re-enter the call password.

UNREAL is making monthly contributions of $75 to four organizations doing incredible work in Chicago. You can find out more about the CAKE Fund and help sustain our community by chipping in here: https://paypal.me/pools/c/8sBIoF2gAs

What is UNREAL? We're a reading/performance event devoted exclusively to fictional narratives and innovation in form. We encourage the sharing of all kinds of work, so long as it's entirely untrue: microfiction, a selection from a novel, character monologues, comics, as-yet-unnamed experimental and hybrid forms, whatever you can dream up. If you've got a mode of performing a part of your narrative in 7 minutes or less, we want to experience it. If your piece includes additional audio/visual components, be sure to let us know when signing up so that we can accommodate.
