Over our decades of making local theatre The Shotgun Players have come across some great performers from the Bay Area’s delicious subculture: solo artists, comedians, and wildly innovative performance collectives to name a few. It hasn’t always been easy to find a place for these inspiring performers in our mainstage season, but sometimes we have available nights and the bar is always open!
This summer Shotgun presents some bonus programming that combines the intriguing work of these exciting theatre artists into a month-long showcase from July 23 – August 19.
Brian Copeland’s Grandma and Me: An Ode To Single Parents
Raising a child alone is a struggle.
Raising multiple children alone is an odyssey.
In 1979, Brian Copeland’s mother died suddenly, leaving behind 5 children for his 57-year-old grandmother to raise alone. 22 years later, Brian finds himself in the same predicament when the end of a marriage leaves him alone with his three kids. Through laughter and tears, he compares and contrasts trials of single parenting in the 1970s and the dawn of the 21st century as he tries to answer the question… What does it truly mean to be a father?
Solo performer Brian Copeland… is fearless with introspection, acute with observation, deadly with wit and compassionate with his audiences.
