WORDS FIRST: a solo performance showcase
WORDS FIRST is the premier solo performance event in San Francisco. The first Wednesday of every month, WORDS FIRST invites the finest solo artist, comics, and storytellers to the CounterPULSE stage. Solo performance is a unique brand of theater one person, one stage. All pieces are written and performed by the solo artists themselves!
PERFORMERS:
MIA PASCHAL ~ "The Slaughterhouse Trapeze" (an excerpt)
A runaway trapeze artist tries to escape the slaughterhouse in this solo show about sex and death.
ERICKA LUTZ ~ "A Widow's To-Do List" (an excerpt)
Who knew that Love and Death came with a side order of So-Much-to-Do?
DEIRDRE KENNEDY ~ "Not THAT Irish"
She's American. No, she's English. Ok, she's Irish -- but not that Irish. Deirdre Kennedy explains how a London-born child of the Sixties learns to distance herself from green beer, shamrocks, and terrorism.
DAVID JACOBSON ~ "Theme Park" (an excerpt)
A world-weary amusement park detective and his young protégé probe a terrible ride accident in a magic-tastical place where both the bodies and the park's darkest secrets refuse to stay buried.

ARTIST BIOS:
MIA PASCHAL moved to SF from Milan, Italy to study with Ed Hooks. As an actress, playwright and filmmaker, she is interested in exploring the tension between opposing forces: sex/death, society/the individual, as well as linguistics and how we define ourselves. Her website is www.miapaschal-chaoticheart.com.
ERICKA LUTZ has performed solo shows throughout the Bay Area including at Words First, Solo Sundays, Stagewerx Theater, Solohouse, City Solo, and on the streets of Tokyo, Japan. Between performing gigs, she is the award-winning author of seven books, many short stories, and numerous personal essays. Visit http://erickalutz.com/ for information about her full-length show.
DAVID JACOBSON is a humorist/journalist, free-range ant farmer and Splenda addict. He got sucked into the solo performance vortex three years ago by Charlie Varon at The Marsh and peer pressure from the Wool Street Gang. Feedback is appreciated, also for updates on future performances:newsfeatures@yahoo.com
