"Brian Copeland: Not a Genuine Black Man" at Las Positas College / Livermore, CA / Feb 9, 2016 / 7:30pm
Join Legendary comedian, actor and author Brian Copeland for this special performance of "Not A Genuine Black Man" at Las Postias
College in Livermore on February 9, 2016.
The longest running solo show in San Francisco history, Not A GENUINE BLACK MAN, reveals a little-known chapter of Bay Area history. In 1971, San Leandro, Ca. was named one of the most
racist suburbs in America. Congressional hearings were held.
The next year, the then eight-year-old Brian Copeland and his African-American family moved to San Leandro. In a monologue
that's both funny and poignant, Brian explores how surroundings make us who we are.
"A beautiful mix of wry humor and heartbreak, indignation and inspiration, a singular story of extreme isolation that speaks to anyone who's ever felt out of place."
-SF Chronicle
"Copeland's ability to captivate an audience rivals many a celebrated solo predecessor from Ruth Draper to Spalding Gray to Whoopi Goldberg."
-LA Times
