Shirakawa has performed at The Chicago History Museum, Goodman Theatre, 2nd Story, Free Street Theatre, Lifeline Theatre Fillet of Solo, Backroom Stories, and This Much is True. Recently, her story “Knock Knock” was featured on NPR's Snap Judgment/Spooked podcast.\r\rSharon Evans, director, was Artistic Director of Live Bait Theater in Chicago, from 1987 to 2008. During her tenure Live Bait Theater created over 200 world premieres and was nominated for over 50 Jeff awards, predominately in the category of new work. In 1995 Evans premiered “Fillet of Solo” a solo works festival that went on for 12 seasons before moving to Lifeline Theater.
