Brian Copeland's NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN
NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN, the longest running solo play in San Francisco theatrical history, is back!
Brian Copeland’s masterpiece of laughter, tears and sociology is back in theaters and schools.
“We are at a place in our history where America has lost her empathy,” Brian said. “It is my hope that by taking the audience by the hand and showing them life through the eyes of a bullied, 8 year old African American child I can in some way help to facilitate the honest conversation we need to have on race in America.”
This GoFundMe campaign is to raise funds to assist with production costs associated with mounting the production in theaters and schools.

“A beautiful mix of wry humor and heartbreak, indignation and inspiration, a singular story of extreme isolation that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt out of place.” – SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“Relentlessly introspective and disarmingly honest, Copeland takes apart the false notion that black masculinity is some monolithic concept, in a way that has continued, unfortunately, to be relevant long after the show’s 2004 premiere.” – Lily Janiak, SF CHRONICLE
