Brooklyn Storytellers

We support the development of emerging artists in two important ways: through our Spotlight Series and our monthly playwriting group, Playwrights in Process (PIP).

Playwrights in Process (PIP)

Are you an actor, writer, or story maker? Join us for this informal and supportive monthly series held at the Old Stone House.

Contact Rachel Wood at pip@pipertheatre.org and arrange to bring 10 - 20 pages of work that you’d like to hear your words read and get a bit of feedback.

UPCOMING 2025 DATES: Thursdays

Spotlight Series

Artists are asked to develop their work further with a paid week of development, rehearsals, and a public reading. Interested in developing a Spotlight reading? Contact john@pipertheatre.org

RECENT SPOTLIGHT:
Nolan’s Wake by Patti Veconi


An Irish Catholic family meets together during the wake of their beloved step-mother. This fractured family is exacerbated by a snowstorm, a tragedy, the rupture of long-suppressed scars, a contagion of car problems, and one uninvited cat.

Featuring Donita Beeman, Rory Kelsch, Krisanne Markel, Annie Meek Montgomery, Aaron Novak, Samuel Schell, and Christopher May.

At Old Stone House. Free.
