Tenaya Rocks was clever, cute, playful and informative.
It was just "alright". I give her an "A" for knowing geology, and having a loving mom in the wings rooting her on. But it was (or would have been) only a cute college classroom amusement, with its slightly spicy references, that's all.
Dear Tenaya, I am, Victoria, the blonde East Bay Hills Realtor that you met at your play on Friday night. My husband, Dennis and I were in the front row. He is a Geologist (undergrad)/Hydrogeologist (grad) and is a Manager for a large environmental company in Concord. We really enjoyed your show. He loved all the geology and I loved the sexy, suggestive analogies and demonstrations. You and your guys were great! I have referred this show to our friends. Keep up the good work! Loved the outfits w/ explanations also.... See you in your next show... Victoria
Stage Werx Theatre is a 49-seat venue founded in 2007 by Cory and Ty Mckenzie. These sisters spent their childhood running around rehearsal halls while their parents performed in community theatre. It only seems fitting that they would wind up running a space of their own.

Tenaya Hurst, an East Bay native, creates and stars in Tenaya Rocks! A Sexy Geological Cabaret. This innovative one-hour show will educate the audience about geology and entertain them by comparing important geological principles to sex and relationships. Yes, only a Geo-AnthropActress would dare to combine science and theatre in this way! Ms. Hurst is a Phi Beta Kappa and has a B.A. from Indiana University in Theatre, Geology, and Anthropology. These three fields have influenced her four cabarets, and this rock cabaret is Tenaya’s favorite! The show's musical numbers include "Roxie," "Bring on the Men," "I Never Loved a Fault," and "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend."
Plate Tectonics is the most important theory in geology, and Tenaya and her cabaret boys demonstrate a memorable model of different plate boundaries. The boys and Tenaya also embody California and her faults in a parody personification scene and song. Volcanoes, mountain belts, sediments, and earthquakes. How can these be sexy? Tenaya explains geologic happenings by comparing them to the human processes we experience every day in our relationships.
Tenaya has experience in mineralogy, structural geology, and field geology, and attended the Judson Mead field school in Montana. She has mapped areas of New England, southern Indiana, Missouri and the California Sierras while in school at IU. Tenaya’s favorite rock is granite, and her favorite mineral is jadeite.
