North Shore Theatre Group

http://www.nstg.org

NSTG is a local off-shoot of NEW YORK ARTISTS THEATRE COMPANY (NYATC), which was founded in March, 2000 as a collective of theatre artists. Its first production, August Strindberg's Miss Julie, opened in New York City at Manhattan's Theatre 22 and ran successfully for two weeks in August. NYATC was thrilled with the success of its first endeavor, and based on the great feedback the company received from Long Island residents, founders Greg Bodine and Carrie Piccard vigorously pursued the idea of making theatre more accessible to suburban audiences on Long Island. In December, 2000, NYATC made good on its promise: the company's next project, Three For The Tree: A Festive Evening of One-Acts, was a hit with North Shore residents. It ran eight performances for two weeks and was sponsored by the local chapter of the Free & Accepted Masons, a fraternal organization dedicated to the betterment of the community. The evening of festive vignettes featured three holiday-themed plays -- Christmas Spirit, a ribald, urban comedy by John Patrick, Christmas: 1933, a sentimental memory play by Larry L. King, and The Thieves Who Couldn't Help Sneezing, written by Thomas Hardy and adapted for the stage by Greg Bodine. NSTG was founded in November, 2001 and in January 2002, the company launched its popular Whodunit Mystery Reading Series at selected area bookshops and libraries on Long Island to raise reading awareness in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. In May 2002, we presented our inaugural stage production of Barrymore's Ghost in Oyster Bay. The play featured Jason Vail in a solo, tour de force performance. The three-week run was enthusiastically received by North Shore residents and served as a source of professional experience for several aspiring Nassau County theatre artists. In December 2003, we presented our free production of A Christmas Carol at Christ Church Parish Hall and the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Public Library, including a special matinee performance at the Doubleday Babcock Senior Center for Nassau County seniors unable to drive or without transportation. For this production, North Shore Theatre Group was awarded a distinguished NGA Grant for its contribution to the arts in Nassau County. The award was made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts' Decentralization Program, administered by the Long Island Arts Council at Freeport. NYATC continues to dedicate itself to making classic and new plays accessible to New York City residents. North Shore Theatre Group, its direct descendant, continues to provide work and a collaborative environment for emerging local artists on Long Island.

Storahtelling

http://www.storahtelling.org

Storahtelling promotes Jewish cultural literacy through original theatrical performances and educational programs for multi-generational audiences. Using twenty-first century performance art techniques, Storahtelling brings personal contemporary meaning to 5,000 years of Jewish tradition. We have developed four program models to accomplish our mission: synagogue-based ritual performances (Shultime), theatrical productions that adapt Jewish myths and rituals for a popular audience (Showtime), training programs that familiarize artists and educators in local communities with the Storahtelling technique (Schooltime), and a re-imagined worship arena for the 21st century (RituaLab). Touring across the country and internationally, Storahtelling has established itself as a "trailblazer of the Jewish World" (B'nai B'rith Magazine) promoting "reverence and relevance" (The Washington Post). Performances have been presented at hundreds of venues and enjoyed by thousands, as we are continually presenting a wide array of provocative and innovative programs to a new generation of Jews seeking content and continuity on their own terms. Founded in 1998 by Amichai Lau-Lavie, Storahtelling is now in its eighth year of operations, celebrating ancient ceremonies in modern garb: deep inside tradition, way outside the box.
