Life on East 14th in Oakland comes back to San Francisco

Don Reed's re-enactment of his adolescent experiences growing up in an ethnic part of Oakland returns to The Marsh after a successful run in New York. His mime and characterizations, along with clever and striking vocalizations, bring to life his reminiscences of being the son of a pimp growing up among tough guys. His distinctive facial contortions artistically animate the characters he displays.

East 14th true tales of a reluctant player continues through January 16 at The Marsh, 1062 Valencia Street, San Francisco. Tickets ($20 to $50) are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/93727 or by phone at 415-641-0235.
