About the Performers
Elana Levy has appeared as a featured poet in several venues in the Bay Area. She produced her own weekly radio show, worked within a women’s radio collective, as well as a video collective in Syracuse, NY. Elana has breathed in Auschwitz Concentration Camp six times on meditation retreats.
Jan M. Goodman recently retired after four decades of service as a teacher, principal and curriculum specialist in public education. Her storytelling is inspired by thousands of students, families, educators and others whose lives fortunately intersected with hers while working to create a better world for children.
Ellen Kaufman, having spent 40 years in the healthcare industry, is currently “rewired”. She has been exploring storytelling and improvisation at Stagebridge since the spring of 2014, and finds it thrilling to revisit her past through a creative lens.
Ellen Sprecher’s inaugural experience with taking her story into “prime time” is happening tonight. Her wish is that those who don’t believe in the mysteries of life will think again.
BevieJean is a writer, adventurist and storyteller who officially debuted her work bWonderfilled at San Francisco’s Roots Gallery in April 2014. BevieJean has traveled and lived and worked abroad for many years. She enjoys sharing her rich repertoire of insights and perspectives.
Sally Holzman went from horse crazy teenager to storyteller in one fabulous summer month. Now as a senior she loves to share stories of the gentle time of her youth to inspire others to join the fun and tell their stories.
Karen Sellinger is a local classical guitarist who loves to offer her music to add a touch of warmth and elegance to any gathering.
