Assumption School to Host Special Benefit Performance of Brian Copeland’s Hit Solo Show "Not a Genuine Black Man"
Assumption School is thrilled to announce a special fundraising event featuring renowned comedian, actor, and playwright Brian Copeland. On January 23, 2027, at 7:00 PM, Copeland will bring his critically acclaimed, record-breaking solo show, "Not a Genuine Black Man," to our community for a one-night-only benefit performance. The event will be held at the Teves Theatre, located at Moreau Catholic High School.
Celebrated as the longest-running solo show in San Francisco theater history, "Not a Genuine Black Man" is a wildly funny, agonizingly heart-wrenching, and deeply honest presentation. The show explores Copeland's experiences growing up in the 1970s as one of the few African Americans in the suburbs of San Leandro, offering a powerful blend of humor and poignant social commentary that critics have called "a jewel of a show."
This exclusive event serves as a major fundraiser for Assumption School, with proceeds directly supporting our ongoing educational programs, campus initiatives, and student resources. It is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, enjoy world-class theater, and invest in the future of our students.
