Catch This: Sarah Jones is in town

Tony and Obie Award-winning actress Sarah Jones will be at ACT tonight for a one-night-only performance of completely new material, culminating her recent residency at Hedgebrook, a program for women writers on Whidbey Island.

Jones is best known for her one-woman show Bridge & Tunnel (produced by Meryl Streep), which ran on Broadway in 2006, and she continued earning praise and attention for her incredible execution while performing a wide variety of characters based on people from her life, including an old Jewish woman, a German teacher and a timid Chinese woman.

Here's a 2004 Today show segment about her:

I haven't seen Jones live, but after watching a video of her performance at a TED conference, I can't wait to. It's unbelievable to watch her turn into a multitude of people in twenty minutes. I can only imagine what a full show would be like.

The show is tonight at 7:30pm. All proceeds from ticket sales go to the Hedgebrook Women Playwrights Festival.
