Already sick of schoolwork? Ditch your #2 pencil, pick up you guitar and join New York natives actress Natalie Kim and writer and performer Samantha Chanse on Friday night: bring your best work (or your worst)—either way, drinks on us.

Actress and New York native Natalie Kim recently completed a successful run of her solo show, YO GIRL! Ms. Kim’s experience includes acting in productions based with New York groups such as Ensemble Studio Theatre, The New Dramatists, and Ma-Yi as well as HBO’s Bored to Death, independent film West 32nd Street, and Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

Samantha Chanse is a writer & performer, teacher, and arts organizer who’s been based in San Francisco since 2001. She is the recipient of an Individual Artist Commission from the San Francisco Arts Commission, resulting in the 2008 SF/NY productions of her first solo play, Lydia’s Funeral Video. She co-founded multidisciplinary artist salon series Laundry Party, served as KSW’s artistic director, and recently embarked on a bicoastal lifestyle to pursue a MFA in playwriting at her native NYC’s Columbia University.
