The Parkinson¡¯s Disease and Movement Disorders Program at Shirley Ryan ÌÀÍ·Ìõapp is excited to partner with Tellin¡¯ Tales Theatre, a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking down barriers between the disabled and non-disabled communities through the transformative power of storytelling.

This unique storytelling program is designed specifically for both individuals affected by Parkinson's disease and their care partners, offering a creative and supportive space to share your experiences, connect with others, and find comfort through storytelling.

Led by Tekki Lomnicki, Artistic Director and Founder of Tellin¡¯ Tales Theatre, the sessions encourage self-expression, emotional well-being, and community building. Whether you want to explore your personal journey, form meaningful connections, or enjoy the therapeutic benefits of storytelling, this program provides a safe and nurturing environment tailored to your needs.
