EL Stories

Series Created by Thomas Murray

Waltzing Mechanics’ flagship production ran 28 different editions from 2011-2018.
At its peak, EL Stories ran uninterrupted for 72 months, making it one of the longest running shows in Chicago history.

Our casts of young actors became a “six degrees of separation” in the Chicago theatre community.
Many have gone on to light up stages around the city and across the country. See who you recognize from our trains...
