Reed's EAST 14th STREET Comes To Marsh MainStage 5/8-6/14
Don Reed's EAST 14TH STREET
"Hilarious. The audience can't stop laughing...Don Reed plays all the characters with both ease and inexhaustible energy" - The New Yorker
"A graceful genial performer... It's hard not to love 1970's funk and soul and Don Reed." - New York Times
NAACP Double Nominee - Best Actor & Best Playwright!
Back in 1970's Oakland, his stepfather forced him to be a straight A, God-fearing church boy - but he wanted to be just like his dear old Dad. Too bad he didn't know dear old Dad was a pimp.
Don Reed has performed and written for film, television and theatre. His work on an HBO special of up-and-coming comedians years ago caught the attention of Bill Cosby and led to the creation of a guest-starring role for him on "The Cosby Show." Don went on to play the recurring role of Chip in "The Cosby Show" spin-off "A Different World" and was recently in "Bee Movie Shorts" starring Jerry Seinfeld. You may have heard his voice on: "Spiderman", "The Flintstones", "Johnny Quest", "ER", "Frasier", "Friends", "Scrubs", "Will & Grace", "Law & Order", "SNL" and The Golden Globes. He has written/developed screenplays with Spike Lee's 40 Acres and Mule Filmworks and Maverick Films.
East 14th Street completed a fantastically successful Off-Broadway run last summer.
