Saw "Mother's Milk" at this venue called the Bernard Lederer Gallery, an interesting new building that features a waterfall. A one-man show -- Wayne Harris -- gives insight into life as an African-American in the 60's, from the Midwest to California, in stages between childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Here's a cut-and-paste from the Fringe Festival website:

“Sold Out” award winner at the 2001 San Francisco Fringe Festival, “Mother’s Milk” is a bitter-sweet story, populated by Baptist Preachers, Black Panthers and a wino named Saushy Lips. This is a coming of age story set against the background of the Civil Rights movement, breast cancer and a mother’s unconditional love for a prodigal son."
