Silvio Menendez www.silviomenendez.com
"Entiende?" Silvio, a Spanish Interpreter at a major hospital, helps people understand each other but can't understand himself. Caught between his professional obligations to a family with a dying daughter and his single minded focus to go on a date with a hot doctor, Silvio hides his smoking habit, confides in his own personal Yoda, and gives families tragic news...none of which keep Silvio from a collision course with his destiny.

"Enlighten Up!"
Dhaya has always been "Type A". She brags about having the BEST Myers-Briggs personality even though everyone is supposedly unique and special just the way they are. (ENTJ rules, OK!?). Even in her professional funny life, as a stand-up comedian, she mapped out a linear path for success and an actual formula for getting audiences to laugh. She began looking inward because she wanted to become a better person, less judegmental, calmer, less go-go-goal oriented. So she made an excel spreadsheet of all the yoga and meditation centers in town, and chose the best one to attend. How does an overactive nerd attain calm? By setting some goals, "I WILL awaken" "I AM spiritual!" What's harder than doing a 10-day silent meditation retreat when you can't even be quiet in a library? Practicing compassion every day, with yourself and with everyone that annoys you.
Shannon Lee-Rutheford "Walking the straight and Narrow"
I always thought I was so normal. Working 9 to 5, cat-blessed, bespectacled and broke - how much more bland could I get? But, there are always curve balls, and you never know where they are coming from.
