Belville Productions presents the West Coast premiere of "Rio Journal"
Ticket Information: Early Bird: $20, Gen Adm: $25, Door: $30
Based on reportage, letters, and diaries of a young American foreign correspondent for UPI (United Press International) and ABC News, broadcasting from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and writing from Amazonia and South American cities from Brasilia to Buenos Aires, 1963-1971. "Rio Journal" offers an incantatory look at a country under a military dictatorship. Two actors introduce a gallery of characters from colonels to comedians with an underscore of samba and suspense. From the team that brought Qaddafi’s Cook to SFIAF 2023.
Belville Productions, formerly Bons Tempos, has been producing plays drawn from social issues, folklore, and history and telling untold stories since 2016. Their drama "Qaddafi’s Cook" played SFIAF in 2023 after originating in Mexico and touring to London, New York, San Diego, Hollywood, Minneapolis, and Indianapolis. Productions of three other plays were performed in Marin and Minnesota in 2024 and 2025. The legacy of the late Lance S. Belville (co-founder of Minnesota's History Theatre now in its 48th season, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Winner in Playwriting, and author of more than 50 produced plays) serves as the starting point.
