Photo Coverage: Katie Thompson Sings 'FROM HER NOTEBOOK' at the Laurie Beechman Theatre

3 years, 7 notebooks, and 1 song on "So You Think You Can Dance" later... Katie Thompson returned to the Laurie Beechman theater to sing "songs from her notebook". When she's not IN a new musical (Michael John LaChiusa's "Giant" at The Signature Theater) or WRITING a new musical ("R.R.R.E.D. a Secret Musical" coming soon to the New York Musical Theatre Festival) Katie has spent her "free" time writing pop songs.

The concert decided the fates of those songs... because Katie is MAKING A NEW ALBUM and played through every bitter-sweet love, sexy dull-hate, and tragically funny moment she's had since "KT LIVE" -or at least as many of them that she could fit in an hour!

Katie Thompson was last seen in Michael John LaChusia's GIANT at The Signature Theater in Washington D.C. where she recieved rave reviews! In New York she has performed in workshops for Duncan Sheik's The Lighthouse Project, Michael John LaChusia's Giant and Scott Alan's Piece, and sang at Broadway's Acoustic Soul and Broadway Loves Country as the only performer not IN a Broadway show.

She performed at Monday Night's New Voices, Tisch at NYU, Goodspeed and at Broadway Idol, where she placed Top 3, then lost horribly. She was the featured soloist on Say Goodbye in Dreaming Wide Awake with Eden Espinoza and Shoshana Bean, created Connie Lou on the Original Cast Recording The Forgotten Carols and Sariah in The Ark. Her discography includes two self-produced albums, What I've Done Right and KT LIVE, both available on iTunes. Visitwww.KatieThompson.com.

Presented by Shea Sullivan performances were July 29th @ 7 PM and July 30th @ 9:30 PM at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (Downstairs at the West Bank Cafe) 407 W 42nd St. btw 9th and 10th ave.
