A message from Joegh Bullock...
This is it - the last week to see The Bright River.
We've had so many standing ovations, so much praise, but now the tent is about to fold, so NOW is the time to CLICK BELOW and make your reservations for either this THURSDAY, FRIDAY or SATURDAY.
We're going to have our Anon-style CLOSING PARTYthis FRIDAY after the show with music by my co-producer, DJ LAIRD ARCHER & FRIENDS. That will be a super fun night.
We have seen so many familiar faces and the press has loved it. Thank you for your support, and for passing on word of the show to your network of friends. Doing that one more time, can't hurt.
In case you still have not seen the show though,
here are a few press excerpts.
"Beatbox flautist Tim Barsky’s Bright River is part Sam Spade, part Dante’s Inferno, part love story, and part socio-political commentary infused with Jewish theater traditions"
Chloe Veltman, New York Times
"Hop a subway to a restless hip-hop underworld.... A curious and often transfixing amalgam of Jewish, Greek and other folklore, film noir narrative, adventures in mass transit and riveting, beatbox-driven rhythms." Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
I really hope to can make it this week, and I know you'll be glad you did!

Thanks for living! |

Barsky's language is reminiscent of Beatitude poetry, and the gritty landscapes he depicts recall the critical observations of Kerouac or Ginsberg."

"Imagine imagination was a thread, imagine that these words were writ upon water. What if everything after death is just as messed up as it is in life? The rich are still getting richer, the poor are still getting prison -- and everyone still has to rent to pay. So to pay the bills, Quick became a fixer. A missing persons specialist. He brings the dead back to life. And he wants to know: ARE YOU READY to cross over to the other side?"

What the critics are saying about BRIGHT RIVER
".. a curious and often transfixing amalgam of Jewish, Greek and other folk lore, film-noir narrative and riveting beatbox driven rhythms"
Rob Hurwitt - SF Chronicle
“The Bright River... basically a theatre and music orgy."
Kelly Patterson - SF Examiner
"Barsky"s inspired phrasing flows brightly like the river separating this world from the next"
Rob Avila - SF Bay Guardian
"With music that thrums through your bones and a story that yanks your still-beating heart straight out of your ribcage, The Bright River is proof that hope comes at man's darkest hour.
- 7X7 magazine

Chloe Veltman - New York Times
"an extraordinarily talented group of people. The music alone is worth the price of admission and the standing ovation at the end of the show was more than deserved. Shows like this are what make San Francisco so unique and I would put this one into the MUST SEE category."
-Goldstar
The Bright River is ultimately a linguistically and musically enthralling work that presents thought-provoking meditations... oddly mesmerizing...innovative and interesting...unusual and fantastic sounds...a refreshing mix of rock.blues and hip hop.... and edgy fast paced performance ... that will keep the audience,s attention...
