About the Performers
Seth Leonard likes to have many irons in the fire. In addition to his recent venture into theatre, he is a screenwriter, traveller, poet, model train enthusiast, a computer programmer, and the creator of MatchFlick.com, an online film community. He resides in San Francisco, where he was born.
Sameer Siruguri is a computer scientist by training, who stumbled upon the world of acting while wandering about Silicon Valley in a confused and disillusioned way. He has been in a couple of musicals and a serious play, and has written two solo pieces. While his primary creative focus is on writing, he finds the performance aspect to be pretty exhilarating too.
Gillian Summers grew up in Liverpool in UK. She lived in Australia for 13 years, where she studied writing for performance at the University of Technology, Sydney. She has lived in the bay area for three years and has recently been studying solo performance with David Ford at the Marsh, where this current piece was born.
Terri Tate is a down-to-earth inspirational comedienne. Her unique brand of humor shines hilarious light into the darkest corners of the human experience. She has visited those dark places, most notably during two near-fatal bouts of disfiguring oral cancer. Terri has re-emerged, committed to illuminating the way for others as they find their way to aliveness, laughter and passion.
