Associate Artists
Alex Huebsch first worked with Hand2Mouth as stage manager for Mysteries of the Heart in 2005. He's since become a lead writer/dramaturge and assitant director for the company. He holds a BA from Portland State University in English and Creative Writing and is a Writer/Director for film. He's completed three feature-length screenplays, is a published poet, teaches theatre, co-heads Hand2Mouth's media committee and is currently working on how to transfer the immediacy of a live theatre event into the medium of film. He is so happy to have found a beautiful community in Hand2Mouth.
Marc Friedman started working with Hand2Mouth in 2006 after moving to Portland from Chicago and became an Associate Artist in 2007. He received his MFA in Acting from West Virginia University in 2005 and a BA in Theatre from Macalester College in 2002. In addition to working with Hand2Mouth, Marc teaches outreach classes with the Northwest Children's Theatre, and was a guest director at Willamette University in Fall 2007.

Jeb Pearson has had an on again, off again affair with Theater since he was a child. Eventually his curiosity got the better of him and he wandered off to other mediums for what seemed like good. His experience as a filmmaker finally led him back to live performance, and he was drafted into the Sowelu Ensemble in 2004. Having witnessed several Hand2mouth pieces, he was quite excited to join them for their collaboration with Polish Director Luba Zarembiska in From a Dream to a Dream. Continuing on with Repeat After Me, he is convinced that he has now found a second home to play in. A workaholic by nature, he remains a core member at Sowelu where his duties include Performance, Stage and Media Design. He is currently in pre-production for Sowelu's filming of Luke Heyerman's The Hero and is producing the VAT: Very American Theater series at Portland Community Media (a video showcase for new theater works). In his spare time, Jeb keeps busy as a cartoonist. Poor Traits, a collection of his single-panel work, is slated for release through Prehensile Pictures.
