About the Performers
Joe Dunn has written (under the expert guidance of Charlie Varon) and performed three one-man shows at the Marsh: “1984/Loss”, “Home/Darkness” and a couple of versions of “Reasons”, which remains a work in progress. All three shows attempt to mix politics with the personal, without completely losing a sense of humor. Many years ago Joe was a member of the seminal improv group Freefall.
Andy hardly spoke till the age of fifteen, when he left home. He hasn’t shut up since. His life has always unfolded as rich stories, which he loves to share. He has performed at The Marsh, in San Francisco, under the guidance of David Ford.
debra netkin (MzDebra) has been writing and performing solo pieces in the san francisco bay area over the past few years. Her other works include: “childhood mammaries,” “from A to B,” “getting it right,” “sextile to pluto,” “wandering jewish,” and “tuna on rye”:. She also performs solo 180 days a year in front of her first graders.
Miriam Mills tells folk tales and myths to children as a part of the Asian Art Museum storytelling program. Tonight she will debut three new personal stories. Being a Big Sister for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is very important to her, and she is the 2008 National Big Sister of the Year. Family and friends are what brings light to her life!
