Dhaya Lakshminarayanan is a San Francisco-based stand-up comedienne, storyteller, television host, business consultant, and ubergeek. Before starting in the business of “show,” she taught “Charm School” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she graduated (twice). She’s traveled to Cuba as a researcher, worked as a venture capitalist, and taught public speaking in Kathmandu, Nepal. She was the host of the emmy-winning “High School Quiz Show,” on PBS’s WGBH. www.dhayacomedy.com
Muriel Johnson was born and raised in Maryland where her mother, an actress, avid reader and English teacher, exposed her to a wide range of literature. This instilled in Muriel a love of language and an awareness of the power of stories. As a parent and veteran pre school teacher, Muriel began telling folk tales to her own children and students. Now she enjoys sharing personal and traditional tales with all ages.
Newt Bailey is an Englishman who has lived in the Bay Area since 1997. He currently works as a communication trainer (www.communicationdojo.com), and makes occasional forays into the world of solo performance. For ten years in the 80s and 90s he spent a lot of time standing by the side of the road in Europe and the USA.
Mark Kenward is a writer, performer, and director based in Oakland. He has written seven full-length one-man shows and performed them in over thirty-five cities throughout the US and Canada, including several main stage runs at The Marsh in San Francisco. “Kenward is a warm, wonderful storyteller who establishes an instant rapport with his audience.” (SF Examiner) Recent directing projects include full-length pieces by Angela Neff, Howard Petrick, David Jacobson, David Kleinberg, David Caggiano, and Victoria Doggett. markkenward.com
