What do you do when your mother divorces your father, then remarries a devout follower of "that religion," who takes you door-knocking at 7 o'clock in the morning? You escape and move in with dear old dad of course. Problem solved. Until you discover your real pop is a real pimp...for real. East 14th: True Tales of a Reluctant Player is the hysterical one-man show chronicling Don Reed's true coming-of-age story in 1970s Oakland. From being forced to deliver the gospel door to door, to living on "Ho Row", Don Reed takes you down a road you'll never forget. At times moving and poignant, but always funny to the core, East 14th: True Tales of a Reluctant Player will make you laugh until you cry, and then laugh all over again.

How do you feel about charities and foundations dedicated to nurturing theatre granting large cash awards to well established writers who already make a living through their art? 4 comments
Fine. ItÂ’s their money so let them give it to whoever they want.
If they really want to support the theatre they should give the money to talented writers who need to spend time at other jobs to make a living.
Honoring established playwrights is fine, but the honoree should use the money to help talented unknowns.
