Due to popular demand, The Marsh San Francisco extends Don Reed's wonderfully wild autobiographical trilogy Can You Dig It?: The '60s. Hot on the heels of the hilarious and critically acclaimed East 14th and The Kipling Hotel, Reed takes Bay Area audience members on a nostalgic ride through the amusing and oftentimes turbulent 1960s and beyond. Reed's solo show takes place before his father became a pimp, before little Donnie was forced into that door-knocking religion, and includes some mind-blowing and unbelievably true tales never before revealed in the original production. From the Beatles to the Black Panthers, James Brown to the Jerk, MLK to JFK to the KKK-audiences will delight in living vicariously through the eyes of an awkward blinking kid just trying to fit in during the tumultuous '60s.
