Brian Copeland's New Solo Show The Waiting Period at The Marsh

The Marsh presents a workshop performance of Brian Copeland's new solo show, The Waiting Period. Copeland, a multi-talented actor, playwright, author and talk show host, has basked in the glow of both public and critical acclaim for nearly a decade. However, like many other well-known figures, he suffers from debilitating bouts of depression. This show gives an unrelenting look at a ten-day period in his life: the mandatory waiting period before he could lay hands on a new gun with which he planned to commit suicide. Even in the throes of such tragic plans, though, his sense of humor does not desert him (how much should he spend on the gun?), and in fact protects him from the grim reality of his intention. There is laughter in the darkness. Interspersed with interviews with other people suffering from depression, the play also offers outsiders an insider's view, thereby expanding the audience's understanding and, hopefully, humanity.

Quotes & Highlights
- “Lucky Dog Theatre's improvised scenarios are conceived and practiced with such eccentric passion that one finds oneself literally on the edge of one’s seat.” --San Francisco Tribune
Description
Lucky Dog Theatre brings its entirely spontaneous theatre pieces to The Marsh on a regular basis. The veteran improvisers of this masterful ensemble act and move their way through an outpouring of original, unrehearsed tales ranging in tone from the fiercely comic to the surprisingly personal, to the poignantly political. Each performance is unique, with storytelling, multi-character and solo theatrical pieces, and improvised music, emerging from a single word drawn from the audience. This is serious fun; smart, funny, sad and savvy.
The actors are accompanied by recording artist Yehudit, a well-known Bay Area violinist, a member of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, who has also performed with Dan Hicks, as well as her own jazz ensemble.
Performers: Joya Cory, Elena Gardella, Gomez, Van Philips
