SAN ANTONIO, TX — Jason Wright dances on the top step of the Arneson River Theatre, carrying his 6-year-old son on his shoulders. Below him a sea of heads bob to the beat of music being pumped out from the stage.
The scene, in many ways, is not unusual for the River Walk. Only this time, many of the heads sport yarmulkes and the vocals accompanying the high-energy music is being belted out in Yiddish.
