We're gonna do another live radio show next June!!
We had so much fun doing “Baltimoored” this past July that we wanted to do another live radio show. So we’ve converted what had been our last regular show of the season (on June 7) to a run of three live radio shows the previous weekend (June 3-5).
That means a lil bit of confusion, we’re sorry to say.
—The Stoop season ticket package is now a 5-show deal.
—And all you folks who already purchased the 6-show season ticket package will automatically get a ticket to the live radio show.
Yikes!
You can now listen to "Baltimoored" online!

Tell Your Story at the MLK Tribute Concert
The Baltimore Symphony, in partnership with The Stoop Storytelling Series, invites individuals of all ages to tell us a true, personal tale recounting how Dr. King’s legacy has impacted each individual’s life. The first prize winner will be featured in the BSO’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. tribute concerts on January 7 and 8, 2009.
To Enter: Send your story idea concept and contact information (full name, phone number and address) to TellYourStory@BSOmusic.org. The DEADLINE is Friday, December 17, 2008. Stories should be true, personal tales that recount how Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy has influenced the storyteller’s life. The story should be no longer than 5 minutes. This is not an essay, a lecture or a motivational presentation, but a true story about an event, an incident, or a turning point in your life that reflects the legacy of Dr. King. Don’t try to tell us your life story—that’s not possible in five minutes. Instead, tell us a story from your life. To hear examples from other storytellers featured in The Stoop Storytelling Series, visit www.stoopstorytelling.com. Finalists will be contacted to tell their story to our panel in person. The first prize winner will be coached prior to the performance about how to best deliver and edit their tale to most effectively reach audiences.
Questions? Please contact Laura Farmer, BSO Public Relations Manager, at 410-783-8024 or LFarmer@BSOmusic.org.

We're Moving to CENTERSTAGE
We’ve been busting out at the seams, selling out every show at the Creative Alliance since our debut there in February 2006. And we hate turning people away! So starting this Fall, The Stoop will be at CENTERSTAGE, where there will be plenty of great seats for anyone and everyone. And we’ll be on Monday nights!
This isn’t goodbye to the Creative Alliance; we’re going to stay connected to that wonderful place. And it isn’t goodbye to anything else that has made The Stoop what it is: the stories, the spirit, the soul, the songs from Caleb and the Brakemen – and you, our amazing, generous, wacky audience.
So mark your calendars for three great Fall shows in our new location at CENTERSTAGE. We’re still looking for storytellers for the November 5 and December 10 shows, so if you have a tale to tell, email us at info@stoopstorytelling.com.
* Monday, September 24: “Corpus: Stories about the Body”
* Monday, November 5: “My Theme Song: Stories about the Ditties that Define Us”
* Monday, December 10: “Holidays from Hell, Part Deux”
