Brian Copeland 's Not a Genuine Black Man
Brian Copeland's solo show, Not a Genuine Black Man, reveals a little-known chapter of Bay Area history. In 1971, San Leandro 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.

The play, which holds the record for the longest running solo show in San Francisco theatre history, moved on to a smash run Off Broadway and in Los Angeles.

This special presentation is a fundraising benefit for the LMSarcoma Direct Research Foundation (LMSdr), an organization that bridges the gap between Leiomyosarcoma researchers and Leiomyosarcoma patients.

Not appropriate for children under 14.
