Join us for a twinkling evening of storytelling featuring the best personal narrative pieces crafted by the eight stellar students during this six-week intensive course: Vicki Beare, Jessica Coates, Johanna Courtleigh, Rebecca Efroymson, Shannah Game, Robert Reitz, Rebecca Weston, and Desiree Winkle.
Some of the stories are scary. Some are silly. Some heartfelt. All shining bright as they are finally brought in front of the audience they deserve. Do yourself a favor, grab a seat and gaze up at this magnificent tapestry of stories on stage.
Tom Chalmers is a Massachusetts native, a Columbia grad, a former Artistic Director of Groundlings East/Gotham City Improv, and a proud member of the popular comedy troupe, Reasonably Priced Babies. He has been seen on screen in national commercials, a slew of short films, and a few feature-length films screened at Sundance. On stage, he has done standup, sketch, improv, storytelling, one-act and full-length plays, and even an opera. Along with the Flaltiron Writers Room, Tom has taught at NYU, Warren Wilson, Asheville School of Improv, and the host venue, Story Parlor. He believes there is no better place to be than on stage, expressing oneself verbally and physically to share a story that informs and entertains.
