Julie Gieseke & Zahra Noorbakhsh
Solo Performance Workshop is pleased to announce full length debuts!
Ask Me (Almost) Anything
Written & Performed by Julie Gieseke
Developed through the Solo Performance Workshop with Martha Rynberg
Julie loves it when you ask her questions, specific questions like, "How many shoe laces do you own?" She's also quite experienced with answering questions like, "What is good on the menu? Is there anything special tonight?" But some questions just might piss her off, like, "Are you an artist?" Some questions she may never be ready to answer.
Hijab & Hammerpants
Written & Performed by Zahra Noorbakhsh
Developed through the Solo Performance Workshop
What's scarier: the wrath of God, or peer-pressuring, grunge-minded pre-teens? While cheating on a religion test in Muslim Sunday school, 12-year-old Zahra discovers it's up to her to save her mother from hell by wearing the Muslim headscarf, hijab -- even though her mom already wears hijab. And, even though her hijab-wearing mom doesn't want Zahra to wear it. Nope. All mom wants is for Zahra to fit-in with the popular kids, by sporting a pair of banana-yellow MC Hammerpants to her first day of 7th grade, so that everyone can see her "bright" personality. Will it be middle school hell, or fire-and-brimstone hell that gets this 12 year old to change up her back-to-school wardrobe?
ABOUT THE SOLO PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP:
Solo Performance Workshop supports the development of professional level theatrical solo performance. Each participant creates a unique and personal solo performance piece using a variety of writing and performance techniques. The Workshop culminates with a public performance where each participant's work is showcased.
SPW is recommended for performers of all disciplines, including actors, writers, comedians, spoken word artists, musicians and dancers. All levels of experience are welcome, from those who have never been on stage before to those preparing a piece for a professional production or audition. Members of the Workshop have taken their shows to stages all over the Bay Area, as well as venues and festivals from Los Angeles to New York.
Note: Online tickets are $10 per seat. At-the-door tickets are $15 per seat. Online ticket sales end at 12pm on Thursday, November 20.
