Winner of the 2016 Theatre Bay Area (TBA) Award for "Outstanding Presentation of a Solo Production," this acclaimed autobiographical hit invites audiences to 1970s Oakland when Reed tried to resist the evangelical recruiting by his ultra-religious stepfather. All Reed wanted was to be just like dear old Dad, not knowing that Dad was a pimp.
"East 14th" is the first installment in Reed's hilarious coming-of-age trilogy and includes elements of the unforgettable story "I Miss Toni" that was featured on NPR podcast "Snap Judgment."
As a producer, Don is co-producing noted director/writer/actor Robert Townsend's ("Hollywood Shuffle," "The 5 Heartbeats," "Eddie Murphy's Raw," "The Last OG") one-man show "Living the Shuffle" for The Marsh.
