On stage. In Schools. On the Road. House of SpeakEasy celebrates six years of connecting writers and audiences, sharing the transformative power of storytelling. From Seriously Entertaining shows to our SpeakTogether work in classrooms to driving our mobile book truck to book deserts around the country, we’ve been busy! Catch up on everything we’ve been doing in this short video produced on the occasion of Speakeasy’s sixth anniversary.

Earlier this summer, House of SpeakEasy’s mobile book truck returned from a 4,000-mile summer road trip. From Brooklyn to New Orleans and back again, we hit the road bringing books & poetry to over 16 cities in two weeks. The "Poetry to the People" tour, in partnership with Narrative 4, offered workshops and readings on the way down, while Speakeasy offered its signature Seriously Entertaining and SpeakTogether programming on the way back as part of its “No Place Like Home” tour. Everywhere we stopped along the way, we gave away books to schools, youth centers, and communities in need. Read a short recap of the project here.
