Liz Nichols got lost in the 398 section of the public library at age of ten, and hasn't found her way out yet. With a background in teaching, training and cross-cultural education, she has been active in the local storytelling community as Storytelling Director at Stagebridge, and has served as a member of the storytelling corps of the Asian Art Museum, the board of the Storytelling Association of California, and the Bay Area Storytelling Festival planning committee. "Lost & Found" is her first full-length piece.
Ruth Halpern has been telling and writing stories for over 25 yrs., and dancing since she could walk. this story grows out of her years in the Cajun Zydeco dance scene.
Storyteller Tim Ereneta of Berkeley enjoys sharing forgotten fairy tales and re-imaging familiar ones with adult audiences at Fringe Festivals, house concerts, storytelling events, and stages like this one. Past performing credits include the mainstage company of BATS Improv and a singing paleontologist at Lawrence Hall of Science.
David Jacobson is a San Francisco-based writer whose work has appeared in Esquire, Fortune, Business 2.0 and Details. He's the author of Get Met Out of Here! Exit Strategies for All Occasions and the forthcoming How To Be Famous.
