This year he will be accompanying Genny Lim, as well as sticking in his musical two cents here and there as he sees fit. He’s done a lot of other stuff. You could read about it on his website if it hadn’t been hacked about 8 years ago. Talk to him — he’s approachable!

ROAD PLAYS lesser mortals
Host: lesser mortals Roger Nieboer & Amy Brosnahan
Info: With Road Plays they create a series of brief vignettes designed to serve as breaks in the action, interludes between scenes of a larger dramatic work, or stand-alone, self-contained shards of celebration.
Akin to the knee plays familiar to fans of Japanese Noh Theatre, Road Plays are often rooted in local history or mythology, and are intended to amuse, divert, and provide respite to the weary.
Tonight you will experience but a few selections from the 144-part series currently under construction.

Musing on the bold teachings of Jesus to the gentle wisdom of Princess Ariel, Noadiah Shanti explores family traditions, spiritual liberation, and the true expression of manhood.
