Performed by acclaimed writer/performer Brian Copeland, hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “among the Bay Area’s most honest, thoughtful and eloquent storytellers,” and directed by David Ford, this hilariously heartwarming story follows a young Brian as he heads to the “mean streets” of Oakland to buy his mom a Christmas present. When he finds the perfect gift – a jewelry box in the White Front Department store – six-year-old Brian sets out to earn the required $11.97 by Christmas.
