The Dollar Store is a mixture of comedy and literary readings where everything is inspired by junk bought at a dollar store.  It's been featured on National Public Radio and in major newspapers such as the Chicago Sun-Times and Tribune. The show has sold out it's Chicago home for 3 years running, and has successfully toured to St.Louis and New York. More information can be found here: dollarstoreshow.com.
