Charlie

Charlie AKA Z33R0 is a singer/songwriter from East Los Angeles. In addition to writing the pop hits of tomorrow, he is currently developing his first full length musical based on his tragic love life. When he is not busy ignoring all the red flags in the partners he chooses or getting over heartbreak, he eats! Some of his favorite cuisines are Mexican, Thai, and Italian. With no dietary restrictions, Charlie will eat anything in sight. If he hasn’t eaten it before, he'll try it. So BEWARE!

Marianne has lived several literary lives so far, variously reincarnating as a playwright (Blood, Lust, Death), theatre critic (Life in LA), and, most recently, as a social science researcher. Publications include More than Words: Communication Research on Expressive Arts & Narrative as Forms of Healing. She is a vegetarian. Well, pescatarian. Because she also eats fish and other seafood. Ooh, and eggs too; eggs are amazing. And she would absolutely die without milk. But NO MEAT! Sources say she’s partial to Italian, Thai, and Taiwanese cuisines (in that order). What she won’t eat, on the other hand, are cakes and pastries. She avoids these not due to health concerns or even vanity–like a normal person–but because she just… doesn’t like them. What a weirdo.
