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.”
