In an evening of laughter, tears and sociology, Brian Copeland's acclaimed solo show “Not a Genuine Black Man” is a hilarious and insightful look at Bay Area history, and at the ways in which our upbringings make us who we are.

From a streamed one-act that City Lights commissioned during the Covid shutdown to a full-length play, "Running After Shadows" has had a fascinating journey. Join us at 7 p.m. on Jan. 26 on Zoom for a free, fun chat with our artists.
