Ava Tong

After producing so many GCG shows, Ava is happy to pass the reins to HPV to produce a GCG show this year and just play this time. Her naughty sense of humor comes from watching Benny Hill with her grandpa since age 4. She found her community in the grannies and loves that there is no judgement. This has been such a fun experience for her to not have to worry about logistics and just focus on the stage. She got to write 2 pieces about Jesus in XXXMas and had a lot of fun watching her words come to life. Thank you all!

My favorite Christmas movie is:

Love Actually

Aura San Miguel

Aura San Miguel a.k.a @stackbeezy, a girl from Hayward through and through, has been a Bindlestiff artist and volunteer since 2006. She joined Granny Cart Gangstas in 2017 and hasn’t stopped laughing ever since. 

At this black box theater on 6th street she has held various roles as an actor, director, producer, social media strategist, photo ninja, chismosa and cannabis enthusiast. 

When she’s not at Bindlestiff you can find her gallivanting all over the Bay - from taco trucks, boba spots, Filipino community events, art shows, concerts, day parties and more.

Much love to my family and friends who’ve supported my crazy ass shenanigans, my fellow Granny Cart Gangsta crew and to my love, thank you for being the most supportive bb. Scoops + Bunz forever!

And lastly to my Bindlestiff community, my world wouldn’t be the same without you. Thank you for providing a space to grow, perform and play on stage. Never give up!
