Words First: A monthly solo performance showcase

::: With Performances By :::

THAO P. NGUYEN
"I Am So Gay"
Thao is gay-er than a rainbow-farting unicorn. And yet, her parents haven't noticed. Well, it's time for her to break the news.

ZAHRA NOORBAKHSH
"All Atheists Are Muslims"
How hard can it be for a Muslim, Iranian girl in to move in with her White-American, Atheist boyfriend and cheerfully tell her father that she doesn't need his blessing?

BRUCE PACHTMAN
"it starts in bed and ends in bed but differently"
It's hard to explain how Bruce went from being laid off, losing his girlfriend, and ultimately rendered incapable of getting out of bed to suddenly cohabitating with a famous actress, landing a lead role in a Mike Nichols comedy, and owning a talking clock that provides him with good counsel. Even he finds it hard to believe.

LISA-MARIE ROLLINS
"Ungrateful Daughter"
Lisa performs an excerpt from "Ungrateful Daughter," a story of one black girl's experience being adopted into a white family. (http://birthproject.wordpress.com)
