About the Performers
Ruth Halpern has been weaving personal stories and traditional tales for many years. She teaches, writes, and performs around the Bay Area and the world.
Howard Petrick has performed in theater festivals throughout North America. A Nickle a Rat is an excerpt from Fight for 52¢, in which Petrick portrays the revolutionary labor leader Vincent Raymond Dunne, was one of the leaders of the 1934 Minneapolis truck drivers strikes. Petrick spent many hours talking with him about his life.
Airial Clark doesn’t give a fuck. No really, it’s her job. She’s a master storyteller, bad-ass business coach and women’s empowerment facilitator.
Ady Lady is a performer and a writer whose work has been seen in venues around both the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Her two shows, Sara Jane Tried to Kill the President and From Piss to Bliss, were both developed with David Ford at the Marsh and received enthusiastically by audiences and critics alike.
Mimi Heft lends her melodious voice to a wide range of music, from jazz and blues to a capella and folk rock, presenting a mix of originals and covers but making each her own deeply personal and resonant story. For Tell It On Tuesday, Mimi will be joined by guitarist/vocalist Dave Tilton (“Indiamericana” trio Cededa) and pianist Joshua Raoul Brody (Tango No. 9, Orchestra Nostalgico, and BATS Improv).
