Gio NaraandorpGio is a Surinamese-American actor and comedian. He was born in Suriname (look it up) but was raised in the suburbs of New York (look it up). He graduated from Emerson College with a BFA in acting and moved to the Big Apple to pursue his love of larger sized fruits and acting. So far, he has nothing to report fruit-wise. When he’s not thinking about poetry or animals, he collaborates with a multitude of artists all over the city creating short films and theater pieces.***
Kate Lee presents The Bird with a Broken Wing

Kate has conquered giants with preschoolers and made scandalous films with 80-year-olds. She’s made theater in remote Australian deserts with Aboriginal communities and sent disposable cameras across a landscape the size of Great Britain. Kate spent years in a run-down Brisbane glass factory studying Japanese performance systems, and performed in a legendary Samurai town tucked away in the hills west of Tokyo. She’s told the Orestia to seven-year old’s and watched as they debated women’s rights, revenge and trial by jury. Kate has collaborated with Tuberculosis scientists, mentored performers, danced with people experiencing Cerebral Palsy and taught drama in some of the toughest schools in New York City.

Kate is a performance artist, teaching artist, socially engaged artist or community facilitator. Her 20 years in performance work is underpinned by the belief that by taking risks with creativity, we break invisible barriers and become more connected to our inner self, those around us and our communities.

Jerry Leiblich presents an excerpt from Mahinerator

Jerry usually lives in New York, where he usually writes plays, which usually explore the relationship between language and consciousness, and which he usually produces with his company, Third Ear. Blah blah blah awards and achievements, Jerry went to all the right schools and did all the right things, and now is armpit deep in amateurish birding.

Check your QUIJI Boards kiddies here she comes.

Taylor Plas

Drawing from a deep emotional well reminiscent of torch singers from days of old, like Patsy Cline, Etta James, and Amy Winehouse, Taylor Plas stops the clocks and breaks hearts with her soulful, spitfire vocals and charming acoustic self-accompaniment.
