Traveling Jewish Theatre partners with Epic Arts & The Hub at the JCCSF to present The Bright River, by Tim Barsky & the Everyday Ensemble. Directed by Jeff Raz.

Imagine Shalom Alecheim and Raymond Chandler got together, rewriting Dante's Inferno. The result would be The Bright River. A dizzying theatrical journey through a world spinning helplessly out of control, the show sends audiences on a mass-transit tour of the Afterlife. Guided by a fixer named Quick, and moving through an urban landscape that is at once both intensely real and fantastic, it is a cinema verity look at life and death in America.

The show begins in previews at Traveling Jewish Theatre (470 Florida Street in San Francisco) starting Wednesday, December 1 through Saturday, December 4 - all at 8pm. Opening night is Sunday, December 5 at 7 p.m. at TJT. The show continues its run at TJT through January 2, 2005. The show moves to the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts (2640 College Ave. in Berkeley) for a two-week run, beginning January 5, 2005 and concluding January 16, 2005.

In San Francisco, all performances are Wednesday through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees on December 12 and 19 at 3 p.m. In Berkeley, Wednesday through Friday night performances happen at 8pm, Saturday night performances will be at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., with Sunday matinees on January 9 and 16 at 3 p.m.
