Rebecca Fisher is a director, producer and performer of solo work. She has directed shows at The Exit, SF Fringe Festival and The Marsh. She recently created the Marsh Writing Cabaret which is on the second Tuesday of every month. She is excited about performing at TIOT, a series she co-created and continues to co-produce.
Bárbara Selfridge will always be a Grace Paley protegée, but she’s left the short story. Now she writes and performs solo pieces, which is a million times harder and not that different. See her this year at Fringe Festivals in Fresno, Winnipeg and Chicago, performing either Stalking Grace or Zero Tolerance: Sex, Math and Seizures.
Ellen Kaufman is now happily “rewired” after spending 40 years working in the health care industry. Although she’s been telling stories for years, she discovered storytelling as an art form in 2014 and finds it thrilling to explore her past through this creative lens.
Rachel Efron is an Oakland-based singer/songwriter/pianist who offers a refreshingly new take on the classic song form. Her melodies captivate, her chord progressions have momentum born from deep-seated sensibilities in both the genres of classical and jazz, and her lyrics offer what we long for in any artist: intimate access to a wildly distinct experience of the world.
