The yorinks theater group (including the work of The Night Kitchen Radio Theater) is a collective of writers, actors, designers, and composers who create, produce, and perform original theater work with sound at its core. Our productions are developed for live performance, recordings, and broadcast. We begin where audio theater left off, as we push the envelope of what was a 20th century medium, to experiment and explore and create a 21st century multimedia "new theater of sound." Our goal is to reach a new audience through all forms of audio distribution In 2009, the yorinks theater group will present its cutting edge work at WNYC Radio's The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space. ____________________________________

It was an audio theater series which paired a classic piece of literature with an audio play adaptation of the same work. The programs began with a live performance of an audio play adaptation, followed by an audience participation discussion focusing on how literature is transformed into other media. A small panel, including the director of the Night Kitchen Radio Theater, took part in the discussion. Noah Hutton's documentary Inside the Night Kitchen Radio Theater was screened at the opening of this series.
