13 TIC Collaborators to Celebrate in 2013

We adore the following TIC collaborators and thank them for their brilliant contributions in 2013 (in alphabetical order):

1.  Actor Brady Adair.
Actor Brady Adair (previous TIC credits include Our Town and Dead White Males) starred in Cape May Stage's sold out winter production of The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris, to great acclaim.

2. Actor Lynn Berg. 
After rave reviews in Our Town, we were thrilled to work with Lynn again.  The Huffington Post highlighted his skill as 'Uncle Peck' in How I Learned to Drive, saying, "It's Lynn Berg I'll remember best and the show is worth seeing to savor his talent."

3. Michael Edmund, actor and theater aficionado.
2013 saw Michael acting (and singing!) in our fall production of How I Learned to Drive.  An avid theater-goer, Michael has seen nearly every TIC main stage show since its founding in 2006 and has been busy attending festivals across the U.S. for his recent indie film Turtle Hill Brooklyn.

4. Soloist Aizzah Fatima.
Plus 1 Solo Show alum Aizzah Fatima first performed her solo show Dirty Paki Lingerie with TIC in 2010, and in August, The Flea Theater gave her a full-length run of her work.  In October, she graced TIC's stage again, with a new piece, Google: It's Complicated.

5.  Jeremy Patrick Hamilton, actor, filmmaker, feminist.
J.P. appeared as a PTSD-suffering journalist in our spring production of The Mistakes Madeline Made.  Meanwhile, he's been hard at work on a full-length documentary about amazing women over the age of 80, Women of a Certain Age. 

6.  Playwright Adam Harrell. 
Adam has been a longtime supporter of TIC, so we are thrilled to have him spinning the yarn that will become TIC's spring production, with the working title of "The Buffalo Project."

7. A.J. Heekin, actor, writer and director.
From appearing on TIC's stage as 'Wilson' in our spring show The Mistakes Madeline Made, to being named a finalist in the SoHo Rep writer/director lab for 2013/14, A.J.'s talents are numerous.

8. Baker and actress Daliya Karnofsky.
Karnofsky, another Plus 1 Solo Show Fest alum, performed her one-woman feast of sugar and spice, And She Bakes, at Dixon Place on December 12.  Yummy!

9.  Allison Lemel, theatrical mastermind.
TIC's longtime production stage manager, Lemel assistant directed TIC's last three productions and appeared on TIC's stage in October with her original solo work, Places, Please, pulling the curtain back to reveal what happens behind-the-scenes in theater.  Up next, find her onstage in TIC's spring 2014 show, "The Buffalo Project."

10. Writer Liz Meriwether.
In April, Tongue in Cheek revived The Mistakes Madeline Made by brilliantly witty Liz Meriwether, the show runner of of FOX's TV show, New Girl. Critic Jon Sobel called TIC's production "the best comedy I've seen onstage so far this year."

11. Garry Novikoff, singer and songwriter.
Garry's music reveals humorous and heartfelt stories. TIC was thrilled to feature his body of work over 5 nights of solo shows in the fall of 2013.

12. Memoir-ist and performer Nora Vetter.
The talented Nora Vetter (actor and playwright) had auditioned for TIC in the past, and her solo show An Unfinished Adventure was an audience favorite in our fall Plus 1 Solo Show fest.  After finding a third-grade notebook detailing her dreams as an artist and an unfinished screen play, Nora nobly sets out to finish what she started years ago, complete with song and dance and some realizations about artistic fulfillment.  She's currently working on turning it into a full-length play.

13. Playwright Paula Vogel.
TIC was thrilled to return to our roots in the fall with a revival of How I Learned to Drive by Paula Vogel (TIC's first production was of another Vogel work, The Baltimore Waltz).  Her brilliant writing made for compelling theater.

So many other talented people made our 2013 our best year yet: audiences, donors, volunteers, friends, fans, auditioning actors and exceptionally talented ensembles, production teams, directors, solo show artists, singers, photographers and house managers.  We love you all and wish you a happy and healthy 2014.
