Brian Copeland’s Grandma and Me:
An Ode To Single Parents

This performance has been cancelled. Please reach out to boxoffice@shotgunplayers.org if you have already purchased tickets or have any questions.

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.” - SF Chronicle
