Mimi Warnick

Greetings ppl! My name is Mimi Warnick, and when people use the phrase “fish out of water” you can refer to my experience during this photoshoot 🍣. I am the Programming Artistic Director of IC, and I also produce our Sunday Scaries Series. I am our resident zilennial oldest sister, life long student of Nancy Meyers, daughter of disco, disciple of Maggie Rogers, golf enthusiast, and sea shanty expert. I am giving peak performance when asking the hard hitting questions in the rehearsal room, when I hit peak thought flow in a meeting lol, on aux when the average age of the room is 59, at happy hour in Sea Isle City, NJ, or listening to my Celtic folk daylist on a large walk romanticizing my life in the city that I am currently in.

In addition to co-founding, and constantly dreaming big for IC’s future, I am currently developing and directing my new musical @chequerboardwatchmusical , and I am the Director of New Work at AMT Theater. And next week I will officially begin a new adventure requiring dual citizenship in NYC and Philadelphia for the foreseeable future, as the Artistic Associate of Delaware Theater Company. However, if you know me nothing is really changing, as I am still maintaining my main residence on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor.

& my girls behind the secret/hot take is I believe people who think they do not have a passion or a calling, just aren’t trusting themselves to do or go after what they actually want. Whatever happened to risking it all for the ideal life? I’m not sure I have the exact answer, but I know heading to the theater, or going to the next IC to hear about all the humans and characters and their stories, is a great place to start figuring out yours. I’ll see you there;)
