Upcoming Shows

We are gearing up for two new 2025 shows, including our first student matinee on March 13 at Symphony Space!

This special show is for the junior class at Global Learning Collaborative and features all NYTI alum storytellers.

Kelly Jean has been working with the students on their college essays, and we can’t wait for them to experience the power of personal storytelling.

Student matinees with alum storytellers are a great way to make new connections within our NYTI community while inspiring the next generation of storytellers.

We hope this is the first of many!

Then, in May, we are partnering with Queens Memory and the Greater Astoria Historical Society to explore “My Place” in Queens!

What’s your Queens story? We will use the interactive Queens Name Explorer map to learn the stories behind the people’s names that grace Queens streets, parks, monuments, and more to inspire and trade our own true tales.

Follow No, YOU Tell It! on Bluesky for more on our first student matinee and how to share your story as part of our May “My Place” show.

Celebrating 2024 & More!

What an incredible 2024! Look at the wonderful stories, Queens history, art, and music we experienced together.

How can we possibly top all this? I’m so glad you asked! We’re excited to team up again with the Greater Astoria Historical Society and have TWO NEW special shows for the first half of 2025 in the works:

  1. Our first STUDENT MATINEE on March 13 at Symphony Space for the high school students at Global Learning Collaborative who are working on their college application essays. The first of hopefully many student matinees will be a dynamic example of how the No, YOU Tell It! collaborative process makes writing and performing personal narratives accessible, empathetic, and transformative.
  2. In our May “My Place” show, four Queens storytellers will engage with the Queens Name Explorer – an interactive digital map developed by Queens Memory – to discover and trade true tales inspired by the people and places in their neighborhoods.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and now Bluesky for updates.
