Bio: silvi alcivar, aka the poetry store, has written and sold an estimated 100k poems for twice as many people since 2008. her poetry lives in the moment two strangers meet over her red royal typewriter—the anonymity an invitation to speak, the typewriter keys a willing listener. she’s worked in places as recognizable as google, as intimate as a funeral, as private as signed an NDA can’t say. her work has appeared at The De Young, SOMArts Cultural Center, KQED, The California Report, and Madrone. silvi is a teacher, visiting speaker, poetic storyboarder, collaborator with fire practitioners, and creator of interactive performances. though storytelling’s her newest art form, she’s performed at The Marsh and the zero to fierce festival.

Her goal of becoming a Hollywood Director may finally be coming to fruition. She’s got it all; youth, good looks and a hot boyfriend. But then overnight, everything changes. She is forced to take a really hard look in the mirror and decide will she continue to thrive in LaLa Land of make believe or face reality? Bio: Cynthia Matzger developed her story chops with a BA in Film Studies and total immersion in the Hollywood studio system. She’s worked professionally as a Director (member of the Directors Guild of America) and Producer before returning to her Native San Franciscan roots. In November of 2025 she was lovingly shoved on stage to perform improv and a spark was born. She now finds herself tiptoeing her way from “behind-the-scenes” and into the (spot) Light!
