"Whistling With Slush in My Shoes" Spring Play Festival

Hello Thespians!

It's time to kick off the 2015 theater season.  Our first show, "Whistling With Slush in My Shoes" one-act Spring play festival will be in NYC April 23-25.  We have some wonderful new directors and a few directors who have been around the block with us for this production.  It has been a long, cold winter in New York and we want to celebrate Spring's arrival.

Also, this will be Thespian Production's first full year as a 501c3 nonprofit organization.  After two years of filing various papers and all the waiting, we finally got the nonprofit status July 2014.  We are looking forward to promoting new and upcoming directors, actors, and playwrights in NYC. The 2015 season will be the best yet.

We hope you can make it out to our first production of 2015.  The actors and directors have been working hard, not to mention the work of the playwrights whose writing is awesome.  We had hundreds of play submissions and narrowing it down to twelve was a difficult task.  We also have the fabulous sound and lights guru, Christopher Mas, with us once again, as well as our stage manager extraordinaire, Emily Rosko. However, here is the lineup for the "Whistling With Slush in My Shoes" production:
