Susan Goldstein is a retired college teacher of Psychology and Women’s Studies who finds storytelling a way to have listeners without having to grade papers.

Jim Rea started attending storytelling workshops and classes in 2006, but he has always been a dreamer of dreams and a teller of tales.

Milt Elbogen indulges his love for spinning fanciful yarns and telling tales of his wretched childhood at Bay Area storytelling swaps. He also visits East Bay schools with other Stagebridge participnts as a performer in plays and to help encourage children to tell their own stories; a very rewarding experience. Milt's business card reads "Available for Wasting Time.

Miriam Chaya, actor, director, writer, teacher and documentary filmmaker wrote and performed "Odyssey of a Jewish Woman" a one-woman show which appeared on PBS. She co-directed and produced "Timbrels and Torahs" a documentary film, which had its world premiere at the Castro Theatre. She studied improv and story-telling with Nina Wise, and performed in showcase at The Marsh Theatre under the direction of David Ford and Charlie Varon.

Newly and exuberantly retired, Sharon Nichols spends her free time volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club and substituting in the Oakland Unified School District. She signed on at Stagebridge last year and enjoys sharing stories with school children and with seniors at Oakland facilities. She loves drumming with the Isis Rising Healing Circle, reading, listening to music (especially oldies), and watching foreign/indie movies.

She is pursuing a coaching certificate in Positive Psychology at SFSU.
