THAO P. NGUYEN
In "I Am So Gay" Thao is gay-er than a rainbow-farting unicorn. Somehow, her parents haven't noticed. Well, it's finally time for her to tell them.
Thao P. Nguyen has been writing and performing solo shows since 2007. Recently, she performed "I Am So Hot" (an excerpt of her full-length show "Fortunate Daughter") as the closing act at the Museum of African Diaspora stage at the San Francisco's 2009 Theater Festival.
VANESSA KHALEEL
In The Rooster, its time for Vanessa to have a baby. Everybody thinks so. The problem is, she is totally freaked out about the idea of having a baby. Why? Because there are breastfeeding four year olds, no-good men, eight-hundred dollar strollers, nipples that look like monkey fingers, and finally, most frighteningly, theres The Rooster!
Vanessa Lee Segale Khaleel was raised in the Bay Area and has performed at venues all over the Bay Area, including The Shelton Theater, Menlo College, and CounterPULSE.
NICOLE MAXALI

ZAHRA NOORBAKHSH
"Hijab and Hammerpants" is a look in the life of an eleven year-old Muslim in middle school, Zahra attempts to be as invisible as possible, discovering that she will be seen in either way: as a fundamentalist Muslim, or an out of touch fan of one of the greatest rappers of all time, MC Hammer.
