ZAHRA NOORBAKHSH
How hard can it be for Zahra, an Iranian Muslim girl in her mid-twenties, to move-in with her Athiest White-American Boyfriend and cheerfully tell her father that she doesn’t need his blessing? Find out in Zahra Noorbakhsh’s one woman show,”All Atheists…”

Zahra Noorbakhsh is a solo-performer and stand-up comedian, who’s performed with Maz Jobrani from the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, and Shazia Mirza from Last Comic Standing.

ERICKA LUTZ
Ericka Lutz will perform an excerpt from her full-length solo show “A Widow’s To-Do List.” When she got married, Ericka didn’t want to say the “until death do us part” part. Ironically, twenty years later – BOOM! – sudden widowhood, followed by grief, absurdity, skin-hunger, and tattoos. Who knew that Love and Death came with a side order of So-Much-to-Do?

Ericka Lutz has performed solo shows throughout the Bay Area including at Words First and Stagewerx Theater, and on the streets of Tokyo, Japan. She is a member of The Guild, San Francisco’s premier solo performance development lab, under the auspices of W. Kamau Bell. Between performing gigs, she is the award-winning author of seven books, many short stories, and numerous personal essays.
