2007 Third Coast ShortDocs: Dollar Storeys
Series produced by Third Coast International Audio Festival
Short radio works inspired by three items purchased at a dollar store in downtown Chicago: a mug with a feisty message, an old-school bicycle bell and wooden mousetraps.
In 2007, the Third Coast Festival teamed up with the Dollar Store Show (DSS), a Chicago-based monthly(ish) reading and performance series inspired by items purchased at a dollar store. Along with DSS founder Jonathan Messinger, we descended upon a beloved Chicago dollar store and after careful conisderation, purchased three items. Then we invited anyone and everyone to submit a short audio work (2:30 to 3 minutes) inspired by one of these items: an aesthetically challenged mug sporting feisty feminist banter, a 4-pack of wooden mousetraps, and an old-school bicycle bell.
Eighty-two stories were submitted to the 2007 Third Coast ShortDocs Challenge: Dollar Storeys, from around the world. Collected here are Third Coast's favorites from the project.
