JAWAD ALI
In "Mysteries of an Earthquake" an earthquake relief worker from San Francisco goes to mountainous northern Pakistan and gets hurled through the cultural looking glass. Amid chaos and logistical nightmares, digging out rubble, managing spreadsheets and bridging the gap between relief agencies and locals - he discovered a mix of human grace and silliness, dignity and joy.
Jawad Ali has developed this piece with the help of directors W. Kamau Bell and Martha Rynberg in the Solo Performance Workshop. He plans to combine more "Mysteries" with another story of culture clash piece, "Hizbullah Beach Towel" about Lebanon's June 2009 elections in a full-length production later this year.
NICOLE MAXALI
In "I Heart Lola" life with grandma is suddenly not the same... for Nicole and for her grandma.

Kamau Bell, Nicole Maxali wrote and performed her very first one woman show: "Identification Please" in 2008. Her solo performance was produced by Bindlestiff Studio and featured at The Thick House in April 2009 and most recently at the 2009 Kearney Street Workshop's festival, APATURE.
