Reha Zamani is an Afghan American actress with a background in theatre and commercials. After college she moved to L.A. and worked in various independent films, commercials and plays. Reha decided to return to the Bay Area after getting a job working for a tech company and is currently working on the piece: Don’t call me Fashia.
Beth Huizenga’s dream as a Dutch American kid growing up in New Jersey in an ultra-religious community was to be fabulous, travel around the world and go swimming on Sundays. She did just that—living in Asia working in broadcasting—before landing in the Bay Area as a DJ on KFOG during its heyday. Somehow, she managed to keep the same bike lock since working as a messenger in Manhattan in the late 80s, and that makes her proud.
Doris Moskowitz is the youngest daughter of Berkeley’s famous bookseller Moe Moskowitz, owner of the legendary Moe’s Books on Telegraph Avenue.

She performs early jazz standards monthly at Nabolom Bakery and Pizzeria at 2708 Russell (at College) in Berkeley, and is delighted to join TIOT for the first time tonight!
