About the Performers
Cheryl Kann began storytelling at an early age in front of a captivated audience of neighborhood kids and hasn’t stopped talking since. Currently writing and performing solo works to take to fringe festivals, she is also in an improv duo, “Denouement,” that performs unscripted narratives throughout the Bay Area. This is Cheryl’s first scripted solo show and she’s honored to share the stage with tonight’s performers.
Karin Werner began her life-long love of stories when she received her first library card in Cody, Wyoming. She reaches back into mythology and memory to create her own unique style. Based in Pinole, she also conducts Intergenerational Story Circles and Memoir Writing Workshops. Karin is active in the Storytelling Association of California and recently stepped down from her position as Board Chair.
Maureen Langan is a standup comic and KGO Radio talk show host (Sundays 1:00–3:00 p.m.). Daughter of a Garbage Man will debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. She splits her time between NYC and SF.
Tom Ammiano, long-time San Francisco LGBT activist, comic teacher, and elected official, is a grandfather, a queen, and a lefty. He appreciates the opportunity the Emerald City has given him to pursue his goal of public service.
Jeremy and Rick were band members for Wayne Harris’ Tyrone “Shortleg” Johnson and Some White Boys at The Marsh. They are members of the No Cover Band with regular gigs at McNally’s Pub on College Ave in Oakland, and have played as a jazz duo at Dogwood in Oakland.
