Steve Solomon Returns to Seven Angels

Steve Solomon is Back May 19th at Seven Angels Theatre in an All NEW Show

STEVE SOLOMON IS BACK AT SEVEN ANGELS THEATRE IN AN ALL NEW SHOW STARTING ON MAY 19…MY MOTHER’S ITALIAN, MY FATHER’S JEWISH & I’M STILL IN THERAPY!

Nationally known funnyman, Steve Solomon is coming back to Seven Angels May 19-21 in an all new show, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m STILL Therapy! In this hysterical prequel to the original show, we go back with Steve from his baby years with his twin sister right up to the present. We’ll meet: Uncle Willie, Stuttering Cousin Bob, Demented Cousin Kenny, Steve’s new therapist, Cousin Sal (and Sal’s parole officer) and a myriad of astounding characters we know, love and tolerate from our own families; each one brought to life on stage by Steve using his gift for creating voices dialects and wacky sound effects that only add to the hilarity of each story.

My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm Still In Therapy is his next hilarious installment in his quest to defend himself against those people whose sole purpose in life is to add chaos to his. We meet the people that we’re all too familiar with; the family members that make you remember why you left home in the first place. This time, however, we get to see greater nuances into the personalities of the dozens of characters we’ll meet along the way, especially Steve’s sister, "THE SMOKER", the, "She can do no wrong in the eyes of Mama" sister. His ex-wife: after the divorce she got the ring and I got the finger! Well, you get the picture.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back home Steve brings us this new masterpiece of family dysfunction. So, prepare to laugh, prepare to cry and prepare to be delighted with "My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m Still In Therapy."
It’s an all new show!

A native of Brooklyn, Steve grew up in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. This was the perfect training ground for a dialectician. As the class clown and as a very authentic sounding Chinese restaurant delivery boy, Steve learned at an early age how to use his gift for imitating accents to his advantage.

He also realized that he was a prolific writer of jokes; real jokes. And, blinded by the “glitz” of show business, he submitted dozens of his stories to periodicals, friends and stand up comics he knew in the business.

Steve’s, three-time award winning: “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m In Therapy” has met with rave reviews and great audience acclaim throughout the country; and became one of the longest running one-man shows in Broadway history. Steve’s other hit shows include: “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m Home for the Holidays” and his new: “CANNOLI, LATKES & GUILT…the therapy continues” All these shows highlight the very best of his talents as a comedy writer and performer.

We meet the people that we’re all too familiar with; the family members that make you remember why you left home in the first place. This time, however, we get to see greater nuances into the personalities of the dozens of characters we’ll meet along the way....especially Steve’s sister, “THE SMOKER.”….. His X-wife. After the divorce, she got the ring…I got the finger! Well you get the picture.

“My Mother’s Italian…” It’s a laugh-filled fest of everybody you know, have known and some you’d want to forget but can’t; all brought to life on stage by the comic magic of Steve Solomon.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back home for the Holidays....Steve brings us this masterpiece of family dysfunction. So, prepare to laugh, prepare to cry and prepare to be delighted with “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy.” After meeting Steve’s family.... you’ll leave wondering why more states don’t have capital punishment. You don’t want to miss this show!
