Stories High Play Directory
In 1997 Teatro Ng Tanan (Theater for Everyone), a Filipino theater group based out of the Mint Mall on Mission and Fifth Street (TNT would later become part of Bindlestiff Studio in 2000) created Pinoy/Pinay Talk, Eight and a Half Stories High. New writers, actors and directors were invited to participate and/or to send in their written work. The end result was a show of monologues and one acts. Over the years, many artists have come through Stories High and have become seasoned artists and major contributors to Bindlestiff and other art communities. Although Stories High has evolved over the last ten years into a more formalized process, one thing has remained constant: Bindlestiff's desire to provide a platform for new and upcoming writers, actors and directors.
