Growing up, Lauren Sivak always knew she would move to Chicago, she just didn’t know why. In 2009, she came for an education internship at American Theatre Company. Now she’s the Managing Director at 2nd Story, a storytelling collective located in Albany Park. Lauren and I sat down in 2nd Story’s new home to talk about returning to ATC as an actor, telling personal stories and about how, for her, everything changed after the 2016 election.
