WORDS FIRST: a solo performance showcase
WORDS FIRST is the premier solo performance event in San Francisco. The first Wednesday of every month, WORDS FIRST invites the finest solo artist, comics, and storytellers to the CounterPULSE stage. Solo performance is a unique brand of theater: one person, one stage. All pieces are written and performed by the solo artists themselves!
With performances by:
BRUCE PACHTMAN ~ "Solo Show #2: A Comedy"
Hollywood's top talent agency wants me. I move from NYC to LA. They reconsider. What now?.
DEBRA NETKIN ~ "Childhood Mammaries"
Why do people wear bras? Where do bras come from? And why is there a mountain of bras on the dining room table?
KIM PAGE ~ "Oh, Father"
Every daughter wants to love her father and every father wants to be a good daddy. Love stories like this can have a different kind of happy ending.
NICOLE MAXALI ~ "I Heart Lola."
Nicole's grandmother isn't just being forgetful. After a doctor's appointment, everything changes... for Nicole and her grandmother.

PERFORMER BIOS:
BRUCE PACHTMAN's first solo show "don't make me look too psychotic" ran in SF, Philadelphia and LA for a total of 100 weeks. It was developed with Club Solo at The Marsh and directed by W. Kamau Bell. Five years ago Kamau and Bruce began a class for solo performers. That class turned out to be the first step in the evolution of the Solo Performance Workshop.
DEBRA NETKIN has written and performed seven solo performance pieces including: Wandering Jewish, Sextile to Pluto, and Roy Vey. She has studied with W. Kamau Bell at the Solo Performance Workshop and David Ford of The Marsh. Debra has appeared at The Marsh, Tell it on Tuesdays and Words First. She also performed in the Solo-tacular New Years Eve solo performance festival.
KIM PAGE. This is the second solo-performance that Kim has created with the Solo Performance Workshop. Before she arrived in the Bay Area, Kim has created physical theatre shows, poetry performances and given concerts in Europe.
NICOLE MAXALI is an actor who's performed all over the Bay Area, a solo performance artist who was just awarded a "CA$H Grant" by Theatre Bay Area, a comic who has opened for Dave Chappelle several times, and a co-producer of "City Solo" at Off Market Theater.
