NEW YORK - s4story -- This dynamic program—now a long-standing tradition at Tribeca PAC—is led by director and facilitator Mario Giacalone. Writers in Performance invites playwrights, poets, monologists, prose writers, and spoken-word artists to transform their original work into vibrant, live theatrical pieces. Writers are selected based on the strength of their submissions and their desire to explore performance, whether they are seasoned stage veterans or first-time performers.

"Writers in Performance is an opportunity to bring text to life—to find rhythm and meaning in voice and embodiment," says Mario Giacalone, Director of the workshop. The program creates a supportive and collaborative space where a diverse cohort of writers develops their material over the course of 11 weeks, culminating in a final performance open to the public in December. The result is a deeply engaging evening of theater that blends raw storytelling, polished performance, and the unique perspectives of each participant.
