SF Chronicle's highest rating SURFACE TRANSIT written and performed by Sarah Jones directed by Tony Taccone April 18—June 1, 2003 Thrust Stage running time: 1 hour and 40 minutes, no intermission Read an Interview with Sarah Jones in the SF Chronicle “your revolution will not happen between these thighs … the real revolution ain't about booty size the Versaces you buys the Lexus you drives … ” In the tradition of the wildly successful Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg, the vivacious and outspoken performance artist Sarah Jones brings her critically-acclaimed piece Surface Transit to Berkeley Rep. As a recognized up-and-coming African American poet and spoken word performer, Jones weaves savvy political humor and arresting language into a collection of monologues detailing the disparate yet cosmically linked lives of eight idiosyncratic New Yorkers. Hailed as “Off-Broadway’s goddess of the quick change”, Jones presents a dissection of prejudice imbued with characters that share hilariously provocative stories. Sarah Jones appeared in Spike Lee’s film Bamboozled, and recently performed for the United Nations.
