Hottest New Holiday Show in SF Comes to Hayward

The critics rave:

“It’s bound to become a classic, a time capsule, celebrating a time that is long gone in the East Bay, in an age of innocence at Christmas.” - REGARDING ARTS

“If you're having trouble picking out a gift for Mom, Brian Copeland's "The Jewelry Box" at the Marsh might be a good place to start.” - Robert Hurwitt, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

--------------------------------------------

Actor and playwright, Brian Copeland (Moreau Catholic High School '82), will be performing "The Jewelry Box" on Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Teves Theatre at Moreau. 

Brian Copeland’s new Christmas solo show, “The Jewelry Box,” is currently enjoying a critically acclaimed run at The Marsh Theater in San Francisco.

The play will be coming to Moreau Catholic High School for a very special, exclusive event! This will be your only opportunity to see this gem without driving to San Francisco. This event will provide a meaningful way to gather family members and friends (recommended age 12 and up) during the holiday season. 

The story is a Christmas memoir and prequel to Copeland’s first acclaimed solo play, Not A Genuine Black Man, the longest running one-man play in San Francisco Theater history!

The Jewelry Box is about a very special Christmas when Brian was six years old while living in East Oakland in 1970. He decides to buy his mother a jewelry box from the Old White Front Store on Hegenberger Road. He has three weeks until Christmas Eve to find a way to earn $11.97 for this special gift. Follow Brian along the streets of 1970 Oakland as he deals with the times while he tries to achieve his goal.
