About the Performers
Karen Ripley has been performing for over 35 years as a comic and improviser. In 2005, she won the SF Fringe’s Best Musical Comedy with Annie Larson in the original play, Show Me where it Hurts. Her stand up is featured in Logo TV’s Wisecrack, episode 2. Her original show Oh No, There’s Men On The Land!, received Theatre Eddy’s Top 5 Solo Shows in 2015.
Ronen Sberlo is a Bay Area native, and has been writing and performing for over 20 years. He is currently developing a solo show entitled Experts, Assholes and True Believers.
Mesmerized by language, Daniel Ari dives deeply into it through the craft of poetry. Besides reading his own works, he performs works by Millay, Yeats, Shakespeare, Boots Riley, and Cummings—and if the December is bleak enough, he does a mean Poe. He published two books last year, One Way to Ask and the Richmond Anthology of Poetry, both available from him, Amazon, and Norfolk Press.
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Lisa Oglesby now lives in Berkeley with her wonderful husband and two furry children. As a teacher, trainer and facilitator, Lisa has been telling stories for years. In the last year, she’s finally been able to tell stories just for the sheer joy of it and has started writing a collection of short stories.
Perry Dexter has sung and played guitar professionally all over the U.S. and Canada. He will be joined by Robert Riggle, an accomplished Bay Area musician, on vocals, guitar, slide guitar and harmonica.
