About the Performers
Since taking her first workshop with the irrepressible Ann Randolph three years ago, Laurie Guerin has written and performed ten pieces throughout the Bay Area. She loves The Marsh! She also co-produces Word Up, a storytelling venue in Santa Cruz, California. www.wordupsantacruz.com
Terry Stokes is a retired Film Editor turned storyteller, singer and actor. He’s performed in a variety of productions since moving to the Bay Area in 2006. A regular with Never Too Late of Stagebridge, he’s told at Tell It On Tuesday and several other local story swaps. Personal adventures and tragedies, fables and fairy tales, and literary stories are among his favorites, although he’s never met a good story he didn’t like.
Actress and playwright Angela Neff, will perform an excerpt from Beached, her third solo-play, currently in development at The Marsh. Beached is a provocative and at times hilarious exploration of the choices patients and their families make in the face of extreme illness in a world where Western medicine too often falls short.
Doug Cordell is an Emmy-nominated writer and performer who has appeared at venues in New York, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. His radio stories can be heard on NPR’s Snap Judgment and APM’s Marketplace, and his writing was recently published in Pieces of a Decade: Brooklyn Rail Nonfiction, 2000-2010. dougcordell.com
