"The Jewelry Box" at The Marsh

This December, Bay Area holiday favorite "The Jewelry Box" returns to The Marsh San Francisco. Performed by acclaimed writer/performer Brian Copeland (Not a Genuine Black Man, The Waiting Period), hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as among the Bay Areas most honest, thoughtful and eloquent storytellers, and directed by David Ford, this hilariously heartwarming story follows a young Brian as he heads to the mean streets of Oakland to buy his mom a Christmas present. When he finds the perfect gift a jewelry box in the White Front Department store six-year-old Brian sets out to earn the required $11.97 by Christmas. Rife with references to 1970s Oakland, "The Jewelry Box" recounts Brians adventures as he scours the help wanted ads, applies for jobs, and collects bottles, inching his way toward the perfect Christmas gift.For information or to order tickets visit themarsh.org or call (415) 282-3055 (Monday through Friday, 1:00pm-4:00pm).SHOWS:8:00pm, Thursday, December 58:00pm, Friday, December 62:00pm, Saturday, December 78:00pm, Friday, December 135:00pm, Saturday, December 14
