At Streetside, we reach down deep to help the youth we work with discover their stories and tell them to the world. Stories, and the arts, aren't just something we do at work. Everyone here makes the arts a part of their life, and the arts we love in turn help us to be better teachers, coworkers, and program designers.
Our staff members here at Streetside are involved in a lot of amazing stuff when they're not helping young people tell their stories. You can see them performing around the Bay Area, sharing their talents.
For instance, Program Assistant Melissa Wong Renati is currently appearing at The Phoenix Theater in
Absolutely San Francisco, "an original music revue about life, love, and the American Dream." The show runs until October 14.
Diana Gutierrez, Storytelling Exchange Facilitator, will be appearing in the Shotgun Players'
Love is a Dream House in Lorin in Berkeley. The play is about a couple of activists who move into a house in Berkeley, then discover the a past they never dreamed existed. The play runs through November 5.
And last but not least, jazz singer and Storytelling Exchange Facilitator Cecilia Long will be appearing at the
Octavia Lounge in San Francisco on Saturday, October 7. The show starts at 8 PM. The lady can sing a Billie Holiday tune!
