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.

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.

We are delighted to announce the upcoming season of Playwrights in Process (PIP).  Each session will begin at 7:00 pm at Old Stone House in Washington Park

This year we’re planning toward something ambitious and joyful: a PIP Playwrights Festival of Readings in June and early July (dates pending). To keep our circle cohesive, we’re asking each participating playwright to commit to at least five sessions so that a piece can be shaped and ready for summer presentation.

Let’s come together, sharpen our pages, and encourage one another. PIP thrives when we show up for each other, and I’m eager to see the work that grows out of this season.

With gratitude and anticipation,

John P. McEneny, Artistic Director

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
