On stage. In Schools. On the Road. House of SpeakEasy celebrates six years of connecting writers and audiences, students and book lovers. Our mission is simple: to expand access to books and their authors, and to share the transformative power of storytelling with the next generation of writers and readers. From our Seriously Entertaining shows at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater to our SpeakTogether programs in schools throughout New York City to our book truck visits to book deserts around the country, we’ve been busy! Catch up on all our efforts with this short video produced on the occasion of Speakeasy’s sixth anniversary.
This summer, SpeakEasy’s mobile book truck embarked on a 4,000-mile cross-country odyssey. From Brooklyn to New Orleans—and back again—we hit the road to bring books & poetry to over 18 cities. The “Poetry to the People” tour, in partnership with Narrative 4, offered workshops and readings on the way down. On the return trip, Speakeasy produced its signature Seriously Entertaining shows and SpeakTogether educational programs as part of a “No Place Like Home” tour. Everywhere we stopped, we gave away thousands of books to schools, youth centers, and communities in need. View photos from the trip here.
