The Marsh is offering a pair of complimentary tickets to each preview of its holiday show, “Siddhartha, The Bright Path”. Previews are Sat, Dec 11 at 3pm, Sun, Dec 12 at 3pm and Thur, Dec 16 at 7:30pm. Email kinga@themarsh.org with your preferred date(s) by end of day Fri, Dec 10th.

If you feel compelled to do something during the holiday season that will actually uplift your spirits, Siddhartha: The Bright Path is the show to see. Prince Siddhartha’s journey to become the Buddha is told in parallel with that of Chandra, a modern-day San Francisco girl who, surrounded by a mass of birthday party gifts, finds herself posing similar questions about the value of material things and the reasons for human suffering. The two meet under the Bodhi tree, on the banks of the Ganges River, where Buddha helps her find her own brand of enlightenment. The show is flavored with Indian music, art, kathak dance and a Bollywood dance scene

Here's a clip from the 2007 production:
