Bridge and Tunnel

Sarah Jones’s spectacular, multi-award-winning solo dramatic masterpiece 'Bridge and Tunnel' completed a triumphant crossover from the Off-Broadway underground to an acclaimed Broadway premiere at the Helen Hayes Theatre in 2006, earning a Special Tony Award. Conceived, written, and masterfully performed by Jones under the high-profile production aegis of Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, the uninterrupted narrative unfolds as a real-time poetry slam in Queens, New York. Jones executes rapid-fire, seamless physical transformations to portray fourteen separate immigrant characters—ranging from a Pakistani accountant to a resilient elderly Jewish grandmother—delivering a profound look at the American mosaic.
