Update #2: On our way!
We opened the show with three strong performances last weekend. It may appear to be a one woman show but it would not have happened without the help from Janet Parker, Ethan Montoya at DoloresDeals.org, Natalie King, Jenna Brooks, composer and singer James Craft and an incredible tech crew lead by Diarimaid Odhran and Robin Uptil. Audrey Tommassini oversaw the launch and I don't think it could have pulled together so beautifully without her.
We're almost at our goal so please pass the Talking with Angels kickstarter on to friends and family who might be interested in becoming part of the team.
On to weekend #2 tonight.
Thank you all for your support...I look forward to seeing you at the show.
love,
Shelley
Update #1: Talking with Angels Location Change
Opening weekend is almost here!
We are excited to announce that we are changing venues. All the dates will remain the same, but we will be putting the show on stage at the Actors Center of San Francisco, located at 180 Capp Street, Second Floor. ACSF is near 17th and Mission and convenient for arrival by BART (16th and Mission St).
We can't wait to see you! Please let us know if you have any questions about the new location.
Peace,
Janet

Shelley Mitchell is driven by a love of dramatic art and transcendence. Her critically acclaimed performance of Talking with Angels is evidence of this life long passion to weave the two together.
During the 1970s she cut her teeth as a performer in NYC at the Circle in the Square theater school where she studied with Oscar winners Estelle Parsons, Ellen Burstyn and Irene Papas. Shelley went on to train with the legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg in his private class and at the Actors Studio. During this period, she appeared professionally in a string of off-off-Broadway performances, TV commercials and soap operas. She also has a Bachelor of Science degree from New York University.
Shelley spent the 1980s living off the grid in Venice, Italy studying the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky. When she returned to the States in 1992 she turned her attention to the great reservoir of Native American philosophy and spirituality. Both influences are highly visible in her approach to dramatic art.
Shelley is one of the premiere drama coaches on the West Coast and teaches film and theater acting at her studio in the Mission district of San Francisco. In a profession where academic degrees can actually be a buzz kill her work is recognized and recommended by Harvey Keitel, Rita Moreno, Eamonn Walker, Jill Eikenberry, James Lipton and Sean Penn.
