Not a genuine black man, the longest running solo show in san francisco history, returns to the marsh for a limited two week engagement (there will be no extensions). These performances are a benefit for the marsh (which is really determined to buy those long-awaited new chairs) and our chance to salute brian’s return to the bay area stage after his severe spinal chord injury.
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.
