The Marsh Presents Jeff Greenwalds STRANGE TRAVEL SUGGESTIONS April 3, 2008

The last time Jeff Greenwalds roulette wheel of a one-man show had a run at The Marsh, I went and laughed my head off. The Marsh is a small place, so Greenwald obligingly handed my head back to me. Jon Carroll, San Francisco Chronicle

STRANGE TRAVEL SUGGESTIONS is a series of improvised monologues inspired by the vagaries of wanderlust. I want this show to evoke the thrill of a journey, says Greenwald. The unexpected encounters and diversions that make world travel so wild and illuminating. To achieve this, he asks audience members step onto the stage and spin a huge, colorful Wheel of Fortune. Round and 'round it spins, and where it stops, the story begins. Greenwald never knows which tales he is going to tell in the course of an eveningand the audience embarks on this expedition with him, from one spin to the next, as partner and traveling companion.

Greenwald draws from 30 years of travels for his stories. He has visited six continents, working as a writer, artist, performer and photographer. He is the author of five best-selling travel books, including Shopping for Buddhas, The Size of the World and Scratching the Surface: Impressions of Planet Earth from Hollywood to Shiraz.

STRANGE TRAVEL SUGGESTIONS has enjoyed three previous sold out runs at The Marsh since its 2003 premier.
