DESCRIPTION:CITY SOLO\nJune 6, 13, 20\nSundays at 7pm\n\nA dyke, a baby-butch, a boi, 
 and a femme walk into at theater...\nFour lesbian solo artists join forces 
 to rev up for SF Gay Pride 2010!\n\n\n\nCITY SOLO is a fresh series 
 featuring a rotating cast of Bay Area solo stars.  Each show features a 
 dynamic line-up of four short pieces, written and performed by the solo 
 artists themselves.  The hottest solo showcase in San Francisco, CITY SOLO 
 brings together top rate talent under one tent for a night of comedy, 
 drama, and everything in between.\n\nThe June 2010 line-up will be 
 gay-tastic!  In anticipation of the San Francisco Gay Pride celebrations at 
 the end of June, CITY SOLO invites the Bay Area's top four lesbian solo 
 artists to the Off-Market stage:\n\n\nJANINE BRITO\nIn "My Diary, No 
 Grownups Allowed!" Janine shares stories from her life from 1993-1994, a 
 very tumultuous time that saw the death of Superman, the birth of Seventeen 
 magazine, and a new line-up of Saturday morning cartoons.\n\nJULIA 
 JACKSON\nJulia rides the roller-coaster world of adoption in "I Didn't Sign 
 Up For This!"\n\nTHAO P. NGUYEN\n"I Am Sooooo Gay" is a coming out story 
 you definitely haven't heard before.  Thao is gay-er than a rainbow-farting 
 unicorn.  Yet somehow her parents haven't noticed.  Well, it's time for her 
 to break the news. \n\nMARTHA RYNBERG\n"Lady Parts" isn't the show you 
 think it is.  Mostly it's about hair removal on public transportation and 
 reconstructive surgery after taking a bullet.  It's about mom thighs, tiny 
 breasts, body odor, and women's magazine sobriety.  There's really only a 
 little bit of vagina in this show -- because contrary to public assumption 
 - a woman is more than the sum of her 'lady' parts.\n\n\nWHAT:\nCITY 
 SOLO\nA celebration of lesbian solo artists in anticipation of SF Gay Pride

 BIOS:\n\nJANINE BRITO (writer/performer/comic) started doing stand-up 
 comedy in St. Louis and has performed at clubs, colleges, and theaters 
 throughout the US and Hong Kong.  Now a rising star on the San Francisco 
 scene, she is a regular at the Punchline, winner of the 2009 SF Women's 
 Comedy Competition, and opener for the Laughter Against The Machine Comedy 
 Tour.\n\nJULIA JACKSON (writer/performer/comic) is a comedienne and solo 
 artist known for her biting social commentary, as well as actually biting 
 audience members from time to time.  This rising comedy star has performed 
 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and was a Semi-Finalist in the San 
 Francisco International Comedy Competition.  Her solo performance piece "I 
 Didn't Sign Up For This!" was selected for the 2009 San Francisco Theatre 
 Festival.  Julia appeared in the film "Some Prefer Cake," and has worked 
 with Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and Paul Mooney.\n\nTHAO P. NGUYEN 
 (writer/performer/producer) has been writing and performing solo shows 
 since she joined the Solo Performance Workshop in 2007.  Her director, the 
 critically acclaimed W. Kamau Bell (SF Weekly's 2008 Comedian of the Year; 
 "Four Stars" in Time Out New York and SF Chronicle), has awarded her with 
 the coveted "W. Kamau Bell Solo Performance Black Belt," a distinction 
 which to this date has been awarded only four times.  She also co-produces 
 two monthly solo performance series in San Francisco: "Words First" at 
 CounterPULSE and "City Solo" at Off-Market Theater.\n\nMARTHA RYNBERG 
 (writer/performer/director) came to solo performance on a whim in 2006 and 
 has been hooked ever since.  In addition to creating several solo pieces of 
 her own, she is the original director of the critically acclaimed W. Kamau 
 Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour and has been a Solo Performance 
 Workshop facilitator since late 2008.  Martha's own work explores the 
 intersections of inheritance, parenting across racial lines, internalized 
 misogyny, and adoptionism.  She has been described as the creative 
 love-child of Jim Carrey and Carol Burnett.\n\n\n\nWHAT PEOPLE ARE

 funny again.  I’ve never seen solo shows done like that before."  -- Dave

 Bay Area's solo stars."  -- SF Weekly\n\n\n\nPHOTOS:\nExcellent hi-res
