Bridge and Tunnel
at the Boca Raton Theatre Guild
September 9th - 11th

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild will start its season off with star power: Karen Stephens will reprise her award-winning (Best Actress 2011 - New Times Best of Award) performance in Sarah Jones' Tony Award winning Broadway show Bridge and Tunnel.

From September 9-11th, at the Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park, Stephens will once again inhabit the souls of 14 unique and diverse members of New York City's melting pot: A Polish-German-Lithuanian-American Jewish grandmother, a boyfriend-hating Australian, a Chinese mother of a lesbian daughter, a Jordanian woman with a fixation on the Beatles, and 10 other inimitable individuals provide their own distinctive, entertaining, and often moving perspectives on the American dream. Hosted by the charming and hilarious "Muhammad Ali" in a night club in Queens NY, these fascinating characters from the outer boroughs of New York - bridge and tunnelers - will offer their perceptions of the immigrant experience.

Bridge and Tunnel was originally produced Off-Broadway by Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, and went on to become a critically acclaimed, long running hit on Broadway. It was performed in both Sarasota and Ft. Lauderdale as part of the Women's Theatre Project. Bridge and Tunnel will be directed by TWTP's Genie Croft.

Playwright Sarah Jones is the winner of the 2007 Brendan Gill Prize. Jones has also received grants and commissions from The Ford Foundation, NYSCA, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, and others. Her theater honors include an Obie Award, a Helen Hayes Award, two Drama Desk nominations, and HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival's Best One Person Show Award.

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to producing professional productions and advancing the art of theatre in the South Florida community.

Bridge & Tunnel will run for 4 performances only - Friday and Saturday, September 9th and 10th at 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, September 10th and 11th at 2:00 p.m. The Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park is located at 300 South Military Trail in Boca Raton, just south of Palmetto Park Road. Tickets for Bridge and Tunnel are $15 and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased at the Willow Theatre Box office: 561-347-3948. www.brtg.org
