What is The Stoop?

The Stoop Storytelling Series is a Baltimore-based organization that empowers individuals and builds community through the sharing of personal stories. Our live shows and podcast feature everyday people telling the extraordinary true tales of their lives, and our workshops offer skills and support for everyone to share their tales.

Who Are We?

Laura Wexler and Jessica Henkin created The Stoop Storytelling Series in 2006. Since then, it has become a beloved Baltimore institution. Nearly 4,000 people have participated in The Stoop.
