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.
