Stoop Storytelling Series to Feature MISTAKES WERE MADE and More, March-April 2014
The Stoop Storytelling Series is a popular event in Baltimore in which 7 people get 7 minutes each to tell a true, personal tale on a shared theme in front of a live audience.
Since its founding in 2006, The Stoop has featured the stories of more than 450 Baltimoreans onstage. These stories are now available on its web site and podcast, and are frequently aired on local public radio station WYPR-FM.
Guided by the motto, "Everyone has a story. What's yours?", The Stoop's mission is to showcase the extraordinary stories of "ordinary" people. We believe strongly that sharing a true, personal tale is an act of witness that offers empowerment to the storyteller, and enlightenment, inspiration, insight-and entertainment!-to the listener.
In addition to its mainstage shows in the 540-seat Pearlstone Theater at Center Stage, The Stoop presents a yearly show at the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, offers storytelling workshops, and runs a popular bar series called "Second Stoop."
