Elizabeth Sale grew up in a family of storytellers, teachers, and art lovers. Growing up, she shuttled between homes of divorced parents and the theater, chasing roles inspired by Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner on stages in Tennessee, Colorado, and West Virginia. She moved to California to study sociology and theater arts at UCSC, and earned a Masters in Filmmaking and Performance Art at SFAI in 1996. Six years ago she found her way back to the stage. Sale has produced, written and performed over twelve solo shows in the last five years at The Marsh, Stage Werx, Mojo theater, and The Phoenix.  

Julia Weber lives in San Francisco and has written and performed solo shows at Stagewerx and The Phoenix Theater through Solo Performance Workshop, with Martha Rynberg at the helm. As a lawyer, social worker, and anti-bias trainer, she's also shared the stage with many PowerPoint presentations. Her identity has been shaped by her experience as one of the only Jews at her Catholic high school and growing up with New Yorker parents who relocated the family to Arizona in the early 1970s, spending the following few decades in search of good bagels. Julia's work is also inspired by the wisdom and humor her teenage son provides. She's holding on tight to her dream of one day finally pulling together her original production of Shiva: The Musical.
