Storytelling Workshop: Subterranean Super Sale

Amanda Englert sells all manner of oddities and baubles at her Subterranean Super Sale, located in the basement of her Hyde Park home. The sale has been a biannual event since Amanda was young and all of the funds go toward breast cancer charities. Workshop participant Ella Beiser talks with Englert about the origins of the sale, her mother’s battle with breast cancer and the mysterious objects that have come through the sale over the years.

This segment was produced by Ella Beiser for Vocalo’s Summer 2022 Storytelling Workshop. Vocalo’s quarterly Storytelling Workshop returned this summer with seven segments produced by community storytellers, uplifting the voices of individuals who add to the rich cultural diversity of Chicago.
