About the Performers
Barbara Newman is a doctor of family and emergency medicine, who has practiced in Africa (Sudan and Angola), India, southern Mexico, and the Caribbean. Her stories relate her experiences in these places, with all their joys, sorrows, and contradictions. She has performed at the Marsh in San Francisco and Berkeley.
Neshama Franklin has been telling stories since she could talk, got into the biz officially at her local library where she still works, tells folktales and personal tales in equal measure (they’re all “true” to her), has appeared often at The Moth, and is thrilled to be back at Tell It On Tuesday for her ninth appearance. She also has a book review blog at the Marin County Free Library website and a program on KWMR in West Marin.
Harry Hall has been pursuing storytelling for 6 years. Having played to audiences at SF Fringe 2014 and the Marsh San Francisco and Berkeley with his solo piece Blues for Charles, he expands on that narrative and gives voice to the voiceless.
Jeff Greenwald is an Oakland-based author and journalist whose books include Shopping for Buddhas and Snake Lake. He will be performing his solo show, Strange Travel Suggestions, at the San Leandro Library in March (bestofsfsolo.com)
