The Marsh to Present Workshop Performances of Brian Copeland’s The Waiting Period

The Marsh is set to present several workshop performances of Brain Copeland’s The Waiting Period, November 4-26.

Copeland’s new solo show is a look at a ten-day period in his life, the mandatory ten-day waiting period before he could lay hands on the newly purchased gun with which he planned to take his own life. Even in the midst of this tragedy, however, his sense of the comedy of life does not desert him, indeed it serves him as a buffer against the grim reality of his intention.

A multi-talented actor, playwright, author, and talk show host, Copeland’s incisive standup comedy material won him San Francisco’s Cabaret Gold Award as well as top prize in the Monterey Laugh Off. His wit and probing interview style earned him a five-year position as co-host of San Francisco Fox affiliate KTVU’s top-rated breakfast program Mornings on 2. This led to a weekly national segment on NBC’s Friday Night. In 1995, San Francisco ABC radio affiliate KGO premiered The Brian Copeland Show, which remains the most listened to program in its time slot.
