The Kipling Hotel

Back in 2008 after running East 14th Off Broadway NYC and a long run in Los Angeles - I was finally ready to bring the show home to the Bay Area. I did a lot, lot, lot of research and came upon a show and a man.

The show was Not A Genuine Black Man. The man was Brian Copeland.

I never met or spoke to him. I just researched him. It was him and this show that spurred me to reach out to Founder and Artistic/Executive Director Stephanie Weisman (Wizard of Diversity should be added to her title). East 14th had already been battle tested and very well reviewed - but luckily Stephanie LOVED it. That led to being extended 22 times and chosen to launch a 2nd theatre The Marsh Berkeley. But it all started with seeing this man. This black man doing well with a solo show in the Bay.

Well, this Saturday Brian Copeland celebrates the 20th Anniversary and 1,000th performance of the Bay Area's longest running solo show -- this coming Saturday April 20th where it all began - The Marsh San Francisco. Serendipitously it's also Brian's birthday! Please join me for this stunning achievement and an evening you will never forget.
