About The Show
Set in Rikers Island Prison in New York: two adjacent cells hold two murderers; an atheist on trial for shooting a reprehensible cult leader, and a brutal serial killer and born-again Christian. A masterful debate about anger, innocence, lying, and ultimately being "right" in Gods eyes. Will you lie for what you believe in, or will you step up and pay a bigger price for that belief?
Come see: Scott Bray(DAmico) who is a founding and current member of The Street School Artist Collective where he is currently acting and writing; actor, writer, director, and acting consultant/coach Evan Tamayo (Valdez); actor, sound tech and stage constructor Joe Ingram (Lucius); Actor, writer, and dancer, Rudy Solis (Angel), who has been actively performing for over 12 years; producer and costume designer Olivia Griffin (Mary Jane); and Ben Baker who, utilizing his Masters in Drama, has directed Jesus Hopped the A Train with phenomenal success.
Producers Abbie Dwelle and Olivia Griffin of SuperFragileCatalytic Productions are excited to be re-opening Jesus Hopped the A Train in San Francisco after packed houses during its first run at San Francisco State University in April 2008.

The anger and old guilt, good intentions, and B.S. still rule in this play of religion and legal concerns, desperation, honesty, dishonesty and responsibility. Kathryn Osenlund, Curtain Up Review
