Nice Try: A Solo Character Show (in NYC)

Nice Try is a solo character show written and performed by Lily Blumkin. While packing up her childhood home, Lily realizes she has a completely different image of what her adolescence was like. Nice Try is an absurdist show about perception vs. reality, surviving the awkward teenage years, and watching a bunch of idiots try their best and utterly fail. Directed by Ariel Gitlin, Nice Try is Lily’s debut character show!
