Performers:

Theresa Columbus is a well-known playwright in these parts. She writes, produces, and acts in her original pieces, distinguishable for their playfulness and sincerity.

Expect to be intrigued by interpretative dance and smart acting by Andy Hershberger; his performances are hard to not react to - please forgive us if we break out of character to join in your laughter.

Freda Mohr is a language artist, wont to explore humanity via the sounds it makes. A verbal exhibitionist, she hopes to encourage vulnerability by being an open book herself.

Elisa Urtiaga is a sensual performer here to remind us that the body and how it interacts with the world is art; art is participatory, and she blurs the lines of perception making everyone a willing spectacle.

Light refreshments served, BYOB.
