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?
“Hits that sweet spot between funny and moving… [Copeland is] a preternaturally gifted entertainer and storyteller with a deep well of empathy at his core.”
—Jim Munson, Broadway World
“Solo performer Brian Copeland… is fearless with
introspection, acute with observation, deadly with wit and compassionate with his audiences.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“This is a show that overflows with love. Every parent should be so lucky to have a child who pays such beautiful tribute as Copeland does for his grandmother.”
—Chad Jones, Theater Dogs
