LOCATION: Alan Wong’s Pineapple Room (Macy’s at Ala Moana)

FEATURED SPEAKER: Marcia Zina Mager

TOPIC: IDENTITY THEFT: Reclaiming the Truth of Who We Are

Marcia Zina Mager, a member of NLAPW, will perform an inspired, somewhat humorous, somewhat musical glimpse into a work-in-progress one-woman show, that explores who we think we are, who we think we’re not, and the devilish challenges in between! (If you attended last May’s Reader’s Luncheon, you might remember her slam poetry reading inspired by a quote by Rumi. She received a standing ovation.)

Marcia Zina Mager is an author, journalist, entrepreneur, award-winning poet and mixed-media artist, as well as a performance artist. Her articles and essays have been published in local and national magazines; her books have been translated into ten languages. Her international best-seller, BELIEVING IN FAERIES: A Manual for Grown-Ups, is available as an e-book, along with her trendy, 31 Words to Create an Organized Life. She is the author of Mutual Publishing’s Cooking with Taro & Poi, as well as A Pocket Guide to Lana’i .

Marcia Zina Mager was born in Hackensack, New Jersey. She created the national workshop series, “Write from the Heart,” in 1986.  She’s published ten books and dozens of articles. Marcia was awarded first prize for fiction in the NLAPW 2010 Lorin Tarr Gill Writing Competition, and also the NLAPW People’s Choice Award at the 2011 Biennial Art Show. She has performed at Fresh Café’s First Thursday Slam events, Aloha Tower Marketplace, HPU, and The Venue. She studied improvisation with Academy-Award-winning actor, Alan Arkin, and at Chinatown’s Laughtrack Theatre.
