About the Performers
Jeremy Julian Greco wrote Elvis in Space I and Elvis in Space II, which both premiered at The San Francisco Fringe Festival. He has performed excerpts of With Held at Ever Gold Gallery in San Francisco (featuring John Held Jr.’s mail art), Words First at CounterPulse, Monday Night at Marsh in SF and at The Marin Fringe Festival, where Greco won a Critics’ Circle Best Actor Award.
Neshama Franklin loves stories (almost) more than life itself and thanks the creator for giving her so much material. She started telling 20+ years ago in the library where she still works and is equally at home in personal tales, folk tales, and epics. In her not so spare time she dances, hikes, hangs out with her beloved teenage grandchildren, and has a biweekly radio show on KWMR where she reviews books, tells stories, and reads classics aloud.
David Kleinberg was a writer and editor at the San Francisco Chronicle for 34 years, including his last 14 years as editor of the Sunday Datebook. David is also a comedian who has appeared with Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Sinbad and Richard Lewis.
Annette Roman has performed her solo show Hitler’s Li’l Abomination at the Boulder, San Francisco, and Fresno Fringe Festivals. In July and August of 2012, she will be performing at the Winnipeg and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. In high school, Annette played the role of the Narrator in Franz Kafka’s play Josephine the Mouse Singer while wearing mouse ears and a tail. This might explain a lot. annetteroman.wordpress.com/
Whether Boundless Gratitude and his guitar are crooning a mellow ballad, rocking an up-tempo foot-tapper, or laying down a spiritual or political folk song, they still just sing the truths of life in healing, empowering and entertaining ways that listeners describe as “warm” and “calming.” For Boundless, music is religion, vocation, and therapy, because of its heavenly harmonies, earthy rhythms and divinely earthy metaphors.
