About the Performers
Adrian West writes and performs music that sounds like a collaboration between Paul Simon, Talkingheads and Dave Matthews. Tonight’s performance will be an intimate duo show, but the full Adrian West Band is a lively four-piece that includes alto sax and drums, and they play all over the Bay Area. Their music, videos and upcoming shows are all at www.adrianwest.com,
Bertha Reilly grew up in Ireland where people told stories about everything and she believed them all! She came to the U.S. in 1966 and slowly sorted the difference between truth and story. When she retired, she joined Stagebridge—almost 20 years ago. While she enjoyed just being a listener for years, she’s slowly grown into her own story.
Enzo Lombard’s aunt and uncle ran Baltimore’s first gay bar, Pepper Hill (named after their two Great Danes), the site of a police raid in 1955 which inspired police conduct laws still on the books to this day. Louisiana Fairytales was initially written as a sequel to his off-Broadway award-winning play, Love, Humiliation & Karaoke (directed by two-time Emmy winner W. Kamau Bell). Enzo and his husband currently live in San Francisco and New Orleans.
Sarah Elovich is a solo performer living in Oakland, CA. She’s delighted to return to Tell It On Tuesdays in preparation for her second full-hour show, in which she explores and reinterprets Torah stories.
Toni Weingarten spent 19 years in Los Angeles writing for TV news, magazine shows, documentaries and for interactive media, and print articles and essays. These days she’s happiest delivering her words in person to real live people.
