    About the Authors...


    • Mariana Merlos       is an actress, writer and director from San Diego with a BFA in Theatre and Performance from Emerson College.  She is excited to be back home after graduating, and can’t wait to continue discovering her love for playwriting.

    • Janet  S. Tiger’s award-winning work has been performed internationally and published in U.S., Canada, and U.K anthologies.  Recipient of an NEA-COMBO Fellowship, numerous grants and contest awards, Tiger received an SD Foundation Creative Catalyst Program Fellowship for CAREGIVERS ANONYMOUS.  Most recent locally: Starlights at OHCC and Script-in-Hand-Players (SD) http://janetstiger.weebly.com/.  And first play read at Scripteasers… many years ago!

    • Grant Gelvin is a writer of stage, screen and everything in between.  It’s hard writing syfy in a world where the news is more absurd than my imagination.  But if not on, where can we go?
