Silk Road Summer Staged Reading Series was a series of four staged readings sponsored by the Chicago Office of Tourism and presented as part of Silk Road Chicago: Summer 2006.  The staged readings were presented between June 4, 2006 to August 27, 2006.

Silk Road Chicago was the brainchild of the City of Chicago’s Commissioner of Cultural Affairs, Lois Weisberg, and internationally acclaimed cellist and founder of the Silk Road Ensemble, Yo-Yo Ma. The season-long, citywide exploration of artistic traditions and cross-cultural interchange involved over 70 organizations and featured more than 200 events and activities from June 1 and September 30, 2006.
