About the Performers
Selena Polston is a social worker, social science researcher and public sector consultant who is newish to performance. Jackpot is her coming-of-age story with an emphasis on the coming. The story centers around a neurotic teenager, her sex therapist mother and a hapless boyfriend. It is too ridiculous to not be true. The piece was developed with W. Kamau Bell in San Francisco.

In addition to performing, he serves as the director of the Fairyland Children’s Theatre program and is on the theatre faculty at Sonoma State University.

Elaine Stanley, a Weaver of Stories for Head, Heart & Soul, has been a professional storyteller since 1994. She is a storyteller for all ages and a graduate from the Dominican College Storytelling program. She delights in having fun with stories and people, and brings her gifts of story alive with her enthusiasm and energy.
