Brian Copeland's New Solo On Depression

Brian Copeland helped make a name for himself and unearth San Leandro's racist past in his one-man show, "."

Now he's back at the Marsh theater in San Francisco where "Genuine" debuted with a new solo show, "The Waiting Period." It details his inner struggle during the interval when he was forced, under California law, to wait for the gun he had purchased to take his own life.

San Francisco Chronicle theater writer Robert Hurwitt recently interviewed Copeland. Emily Wilson published a similar piece for the SFWeekly. Patch hopes to see and review the production soon.

Meanwhile, if you've seen "The Waiting Period" or "Genuine" and have thoughts to share, please leave a comment below.
