And catch the next live performance at the Creative Alliance on July 25th. The theme will be: “Truth and Lies: An Evening of Stories and Magic”.

Meet Jessica Henkin! She boomeranged back to Baltimore from the Bacchanalia of her New York youth, and now, she knows almost everyone in Charm City as one of the city's "Hip Baltimore Power Couples" (phrase coined by Kerri). A member of BIG since near its inception, Jess has a lot to say about improv...which is why she was our first guest to go over the 30 second time limit. Find out if we forgive her, more about the Stoop Storytelling Series, and how to strong-arm your way onto a podcast with one time troupe: Tendrils in the Asphalt. Cast of Improvisers: Sean Latta, Roy Taff, Barry Wright, Kristen McKenzie

I guess we could call this edition of the Sherpa Sheet, "When the Sherpa met the Kid". And I certainly was glad to... Under the charge of overusing the word "interesting", I plead guilty, which I guess is better than pleading insanity. I really enjoyed my conversation with Stacy. He really knows a lot about literature, and you could see how much it plays a part in his life. He doesn't just write, he creates-which is what authors aspire to do. He's played so many roles in his life and it doesn't appear that he'll be slowing down for quite some time. Stacy and i spoke about his influences, and how his life has influenced his writing. Plus-the story of Tsoro the Watcher-and what to watch out for in the next season! Stacy's connection to previous guest Susannah Lewis! How cadence helps Stacy write! And what will The Kid read to "the kid", after he makes his debut?

Everyone has a story. What’s yours? That’s the motto of the Stoop, a Baltimore storytelling series created and hosted by Laura Wexler and Jessica Henkin. Since its founding in 2006, hundreds of ordinary people have shared their 7-minute personal tales in front of a live audience. Ranging from hilarious to heartbreaking, the stories, centered around a common theme, aren’t scripted or memorized. Jessica, an improv comic who works in education, and Laura, a writer and producer, also host the Stoop Storytelling Series podcast. They talked about the inspiration for the Stoop, some of their favorite stories over the years and building a community.

On this season of Working, we visit the city of Baltimore, to talk to people about their jobs there. We're hoping to learn about how the city informs their work, and how they are shaping Baltimore itself, by working. Damon Walker helps real estate investors manage Section 8 housing. He explains how he makes sure that the properties are comfortable and up to code, and how he finds tenants for each availability. In a Slate Plus Extra, Walker tells us about how he takes care of his own home. If you’re a member, enjoy bonus segments and interview transcripts from Working, plus other great podcast exclusives.

Laura Wexler has been in the storytelling business for a decade and is host of the popular live storytelling event "the Stoop" in Baltimore. The Stoop has an archive of nearly 1000 stories told by different people -- real life stories that don't revolve around a moral or a script -- and allow listeners and the storyteller to deeply connect with each other. Although live storytelling events are now common in most cities around the U.S., when Ms. Wexler started the Stoop, few people understood the concept, but now they sell out every time because people are clamoring to hear other people being real. The Stoop is now a podcast -- you should check it out!  Laura Wexler is the co-founder and co-producer of The Stoop Storytelling Series, a Baltimore-based live show and podcast that features "ordinary" people telling the extraordinary true stories of their lives. Laura frequently presents workshops and coaching sessions to nonprofits and businesses that want to harness the power of true, personal storytelling to communicate a larger story. The Stoop Storytelling Series is a popular live show and podcast that features the extraordinary true tales of "ordinary" people. Since its founding in 2006, The Stoop has sold out nearly every show, and recently expanded its listenership through a weekly podcast.
