Sucker for Love

Story District’s Valentine’s tradition GET TICKETS Real love stories are better than the ones in the movies. For the 19th year, Story District’s Sucker for Love is back with true stories about dating, desire, heartbreak, bad decisions, unexpected connections, and everything that happens when other people get involved in our feelings. Because love can be romantic. It can also be awkward, confusing, hilarious, devastating, ill-advised, badly timed, and occasionally worth all the trouble. On stage, storytellers share the moments they actually lived through—from disastrous dates and spectacular misreads to breakups, hookups, big feelings, questionable choices, and relationships that went somewhere nobody saw coming. No scripts. No fictional characters. No perfect Hollywood endings. Just real people telling really good stories about love. What kind of love story are we talking about? Bad dates The ones you can finally laugh about now. Big feelings The kind that make otherwise reasonable people do questionable things. Unexpected turns Because the story almost never goes where you thought it would. Real connection Sometimes sweet. Sometimes messy. Usually complicated. Come with a date. Come with friends. Come single. Sucker for Love isn’t only for couples. If you’ve ever fallen in love, sworn off love, downloaded a dating app, deleted a dating app, texted someone you definitely shouldn’t have, or simply enjoy hearing about other people’s romantic chaos, you’ll fit right in.
