About the Performers
Steve Budd is a solo performer, improvisor, and actor. Since moving from Boston to Berkeley a few years ago, he’s worked with the San Francisco Playhouse, Impact Theatre, Lila Theatre, the New Conservatory Theatre, and CalShakes, as well as appearing in numerous indies and commercial videos. Steve also teaches writing to adults and acting to kids. He’s a big fan of TIOT.
Jeff Nichols’ performing career has included singing in rock bands, playing trumpet, acting, and spoken word performances. He will be attending Southern Illinois University’s Playwriting MFA program in the Fall. Ask the Question will be performed in its entirety at The Marsh in San Francisco on July 16th.
Paul Sussman developed his approach to melodrama and farce through years of work in financial management with Bay Area nonprofit organizations. He has written and performed a series of solo pieces through the eyes of road-ragers, insects, Anabaptists, and others who persist in the search for meaning amidst the puzzling evidence.
Mia Paschal, winner of the San Francisco Fringe Festival’s Best Female Solo Award in 2004 (“some life”) and 2006 (“This Lily Was (Fontana)”), she developed her third solo show in David Ford’s Solo Performance Workshop at the Marsh. She will perform the full version of Along the Path of Larks and Swallows as part of the Marsh Rising series on August 6th, and at the San Francisco Fringe Festival in September. www.miapaschal.com.
