"Cops & Robbers" Onstage at
May 18, 2pm & 8pmMay 31, 8pm
June 1, 2pm & 8pm
Oakland Kaiser Center
300 Lakeside Dr. (map)
Oakland-Grand Lake
Jinho "The Piper" Ferreira, a rapper with Flipsyde, actor, award winning screenwriter, and law enforcement officer has penned a brilliant play, directed by Ami Zins and Lew Levinson.
Cops & Robbers is a political Rochambeau, told in Rashomon style and a Riveting tour de force performance! Piper flawlessly plays all 16 characters weaving together the stories behind the crimes in our community, the way law enforcement reacts and the way the media spins the news. This is a play for anyone who wants to improve the quality of life in the community, anyone who is interested in a solution rather than in just winning the debate.
“Seeing Cops & Robbers will definitely motivate people to take action in their communities.” Hodari Davis, National Director of Youth Speaks
Sponsored by Rotary Club of Oakland - Bringing Oakland's youth to transformational theater!
A panel discussion will follow both matinees.
