Three Year Anniversary Show

MEET OUR SWITCHED-UP STORYTELLERS
Next week, June 17th!, is our three-year anniversary show and very first FICTION EDITION. Click here for additional info and to RVSP.
Now let’s get to know the four fabulous NYTI alums who switched-up their true-life tales with us previously and are now busy taking on this new genre.
Jim Cairl is an actor, writer, and does a mean karaoke of It’s
The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Some of the more
recent shows he’s appeared in are Richard III, Death of a
Salesman, Flowers of Uptown and Himmelreich. Jim
also penned a (very) short film that will be shot in July.
Jim won on the
television quiz show Jeopardy!, which is a story that he will tell
to anyone who listens until the day he dies. Lastly, he’d like to thank
Madeline, Ava, and Finn (his three lovely children) and Victoria (his very
patient wife) for putting up with his odd schedules and needing to be alone in
a quiet room for a while.
Katie Johnston has a BA in Theatre Arts from
Jacksonville University, and has had the pleasure of working for several years
in regional theatre. After a LONG
hiatus, Katie made her way back to the stage for the first time in February
with No, YOU Tell It!’s “Revelation” showcase.
She was so thrilled to be invited back for the very first NYTI “Fiction
Edition.” Katie is currently studying
Integrative Nutrition and is so grateful for the NYTI family for welcoming her
in and giving her an opportunity to continue to create and perform.

NYTI: Fiction Edition Coming Soon!

In June, we like switching-up the switch-up to do something new! We had a blast last year with our LEGACY show at The Brick’s Comic Book Theater Festival.
On June 17th, we are thrilled to present our first ever Summer “Fiction Edition.”
We’ve assembled 4 fabulous NYTI alums who switched-up their true-life tales with us previously and are now busy taking on this new
genre. However, our motto still applies: What better way to inform your story than hearing someone else perform your story?

Jim Cairl, co-writer with our own Kelly Jean on the web series Intersection

Live Show: Revival
Apr 15 2015 @ 7:00PM
Our next switched-up storytelling show, REVIVAL, is just one week away!
We reached out to emerging artist, Rose Eddins, and asked her to draw an original image inspired by our show’s theme.
As you can see, the result is cherubic and delightful. NYTI’s own Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons asked her niece, Rose, what inspired her to create her masterpiece, here’s what she had to say:
I don’t know. I just thought of it.
Join us on April 15th at 7pm to celebrate and support Jimmy’s No. 43 reopening! Click here for details and to RSVP.
