Merle and Tom Tresser told the story of they met at the February 16, 2026 edition of StoryLab Chicago at Mrs. Murphy’s Irish Pub in Chicago. It was a miracle that had some real civic repercussions 😊! The event is on every third Thursday and it’s free! Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm show. Usually 6 stories are shared and it’s completely open – you can sign up to tell a story, and you WILL be called on. There is one mandatory rehearsal with master teller/story whisperer Scott Whitehair – who is amazing – This is for ANYONE with a story to tell.  Check out https://www.storylabchicago.com/2026.html.
