A new era begins! Monday Night MarshStream starts tonight LIVE on Youtube


Skip Goodman’s “THE ROAD UNRAVELED”
‘The Road Unraveled’ is a perpetual work in progress. Looking back. Moving forward. Choices. Chances. Fumbling through life and working shit out.

Skip started his solo journey at The Marsh in the mid-90s in a workshop with Charlie Varon. He is also the creator of the world-famous “I don’t process…I purée” t-shirt.

Jane Gire’s “MARRIAGE IN THE TIME OF CORONA”
Could grocery shopping really get any worse? Now, it literally could be the death of us?” Come hear and see your old pal Jane, hopefully, provide some comic relief or at least a distraction on how she and hubby Lincoln are coping with quarantining


Steve Budd’s “WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT LOVE”
Steve Budd wonders why other people can and he can’t — tie the know, that is. So he asked couples about the push and pull of love-what keeps them from pulling apart despite annoying the heck out of each other.
