Noo Yawk Tawk[1] was an off-Broadway show conceived and directed by Richmond Shepard which played at The Village Gate Theater from 1988 to 1991.
It featured members of an improvisational comedy troupe founded by Mr. Shepard.
The cast members used their skills of foreign accents, dialects, singing, mime and writing.
Speakeasy played to packed houses until 1993 and moved to other venues before Taffel joined the off-Broadway company of The News In Revue.
Three members of the troupe, Stan Taffel, Miguel Sierra and Kim Cea were hired for a new animated series, The Toysters, which had a run of thirteen episodes and was seen in foreign countries.
