About the Performers
Kurt Bodden has performed improv at the Edinburgh Fringe, solo work at the San Francisco Fringe, storytelling on the circuit in Los Angeles, and standup comedy from here to Montana. He has hosted a monthly talk show at the Purple Onion nightclub and events like Literary Death Match. Currently he’s studying and creating mime, clowning, mask work, and physical theater at Flying Actor Studio in San Francisco—full time!
Cherry Zonkowski, is a Bay Area performance artist whose sold-out Marsh Rising performance, Reading my Dad’s Porn and French Kissing the Dog only proved that she is, has been, and will always be a weirdo. Her college application bio stated that she is “tall, blue, coarse”; nothing much has changed since then. You can be a fan of her on Facebook and follow her on twitter under the name Cherryterror.
Thao P. Nguyen has been been performing solo shows in the Bay Area, under the direction of W. Kamau Bell, since 2007. She recently performed at the 2009 SF Theater Festival as the closing act at the Museum of African Diaspora stage. She also co-produces Words First, a monthly solo performance series at CounterPULSE in San Francisco.
