The storytelling workshop taught by Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons is coming to a close, and the students want to show you what they’ve learned.

Wednesday, March 25th: Urbane Comedy - 9pm
Calvin Cato knows how to live-tweet a show - just watch his twitter feed blow up during an episode of Fox’s “Empire” to see what we’re talking about. He also knows how to host a show, thank gosh. This month’s LGBT and LGBT-Friendly line-up includes: Ophira Eisenberg, Chris Doucette, Frank Liotti, Sydnee Washington, May Wilkerson, Samantha Ruddy. Tickets are $5.
Thursday, March 27th: The Tempest Premiere Party & Show - 8pm
First Day Productions is proud to Present The Tempest...as a cabaret!

Friday, March 27th: Undefined - 9pm
As always, host/producer Jeremy Wein has pulled through with a killer line up.

Saturday, March 28th: DIY Zombie Makeup Tutorial / Stone Tools for the Zombiepocalypse
There’s a lot to choose from for Saturday (like a Nonfiction Book Proposal class, a Board Game Meetup and back-to-back comedy shows) but the zombie classes are too weird to pass up. At 3pm Melissa Ross teaches you how to apply the makeup of the undead, and at 5pm you’ll learn about the evolution of stone tools into modern weapons, and how they can be used once the imminent zombiepocaplyse hits NYC. It’s all in preparation for the season finale of the Walking Dead Sunday at 9!
Sunday, March 29th: Fiction Studio Session - 11am
If you’re interested in writing fiction but need a gentle kick in the butt to get started on your story, this is the class for you. Tim Fredrick coaches new and long-term writers through fiction techniques, devices, emulation, and on his or her own piece.
