About the Performers
Jeff Byers tells stories and teaches storytelling at the Asian Art Museum and in classrooms from first grade to UC Berkeley. He has appeared in various performance venues, including the San Francisco Theater Festival, The Magic Theatre, the Chicago Calling Arts Festival, Ashby Stage, and (very happily) Tell It On Tuesday. He is a board member of the Storytelling Association of California.
Ady Abbot has been performing in some capacity for most of her life. She began writing this piece in February of 2011 while taking a class on solo performance with David Ford at the San Francisco Marsh. She has performed excerpts at Monday Night Marsh, and last month at the Los Angeles Women’s Theater Festival. This September, she is thrilled to be presenting an hour of What Ever Happened to Sara Jane? at the San Francisco Fringe Festival.
Elaine Magree, a Californian native: sometimes a wave, sometimes a photon—because you can’t be in two places at once, or can you? Pilgrimage was developed with David Ford and is being directed by Rebecca Fisher.
Malcolm Grissom is a Bay Area Comedian who has perfomed theater and comedy for 20 years. www.malcolmgrissom.com.
Freddy and the Freeloaders has been playing around the bay area for three years and the majority of the gigs we’ve played have been in Marin County, Richmond, and the City.
