Oakland native Don Reed's one-man play "East 14th - Tales of a Reluctant Player" ends at Laney College this weekend.
Reed, who did an exclusive interview with The Black Hour last year before the show screened at the Marsh in San Francisco, recently made this clip with the folks at Good News Oakland.
Showtime for Friday, Feb. 26 and Saturday, Feb. 27 is 8:30 p.m.
The video below sets up the scene for this coming of age tale about a shy teenager, growing up in 1970s Oakland caught between the extremes of a stepfather who is an ardent door-knocking Jehovah's Witness and an illiterate, partying father who is a pimp.
More info on advanced tickets. Laney College is located at 900 Fallon Street in Oakland.
