Tipi Tales from the Stoop

Jan 8—11, 2025

By Murielle Borst-Tarrant

Gather ‘round the stoop with Murielle Borst-Tarrant as she spins a tapestry of tales from her youth – growing up in the only Native family of a Mafia-run Brooklyn neighborhood.

With unflinching humor and heart-warming empathy, award-winning playwright and performer Murielle Borst-Tarrant (Kuna/Rappahannock) confronts family history and generational trauma as she dives into an epic quest to keep cultural traditions alive. Tipi Tales from the Stoop is the joyous journey of one Native New Yorker discovering her voice and proving that resilience is not just about surviving, it’s about thriving—with or without the occasional family drama.
