the spouses
WeAreMarried LLC is
Jay Eisenberg and
Shelby Richardson.
​
They have been close collaborators in what they call the "passionate business" of friendship since 2017.
​
After a decade working in mainstream professional theatre, they formalized their collaboration by creating
a trans-led organization that challenges the norms of the industry, and proposes a better alternative.
​
WAM is the result.
Shelby is a trans/non-binary actor, performance artist, astrologer, and director who lives and works in the Twin Cities. Shelby believes we are meaning-making beings.
​
They are from a rural town in Northern California.
​
Shelby guesses that they have a BFA from the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater Actor Training Program, though they're not entirely sure the paperwork ever went through.
