For One Table Show's 8th show and our first performance of the 2026 season, La Cà Bar welcomed first-time director Jysal Rousan-Price, who teamed up with One Table Show veterans Sameer Arshad and Bedillia Gonzeles, One Table Show founder Derek Nunn directing monologuist TJ Hines, and newcomers Wonder Daniels, Laura Muscatello, and Jeanette Sanchez in a scene directed by Jesi Vega.
Scene 1: Journalist Sameer Arshad arrives at La Cà Bar reluctant to conduct an interview with rising Hip Hop star Bedillia Gonzelez and soon finds himself in over his head. But the two find a middle ground and discover they've got creative chemistry. Directed by Jysal Rousan-Price.
Sameer Arshad is a Persian-Turk-Arab-Indian-Pakistani playwright, writer, actor, animator, film-maker, comic maker and visual artist based in Seattle. Several of Sameer’s plays, short and long, have received productions in the Seattle area.. Sameer is a trained linguist and also provides services in cultural consulting and dialect training.
Bedillia Gonzelez was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona but recently moved to Tacoma 6 months ago! She has a passion for acting and did theater in her high school and local church. It's been nearly a decade since she last acted but is excited to be on this journey and provided the opportunity to work one more time with the One Table Show!
Jysal Rousan-Price grew up in a home that exists in this city. He graduated from Lincoln and got his degree from Seattle Pacific University (as an atheist at a Christian school). He currently works for Communities in Schools at Franklin Pierce High School. In his free time, he likes to play games and write scripts and imagine fantastical things.
Scene 2: Performer TJ Hines has an identity crisis during a tense phone call in the middle of the restaurant. Directed by Derek Nun
TJ Hines has been in WA since 2022. He’s been acting since he was 4, and it has been a big part of his life since then.
Scene 3: Former Girl Scout troop leader Laura Muscatello has been searching high and low for her long-lost twin and suspects it may be truth-telling restaurant critic/influencer, Jeannette Sanchez. But their reunion is interrupted by Wonder Daniels, a nosy waitress with a strangely familiar birthmark on her arm.
Wonder Daniels is an artist with southern roots that now calls the PNW home. Wonder explores multiple disciplines of art from writing, sewing, painting, mixed media, and performing arts. The story goes that during pregnancy her mother took pen to paper and thus a poet was born. At a young age passion couldn't be contained so writing down her thoughts was the solution offered when freedom of speech continued to be a battle for educators.
