(SOUTH ORANGE, NJ) -- Steve Solomon brings his hit comedy, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! to South Orange for the first time. The popular one-man show will be performed at the South Orange Performing Arts Center this May. Written and starring, Steve Solomon, the show has become one of the longest running one-man comedies in history celebrating its four thousandth performance.
In My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! Using dialects, accents and sound effect, Steve brings to the stage dozens of wild characters we all relate to; all brought to life by Steve’s comedy magic. His four shows have had audiences in three countries guffawing since 2003. Almost one million people have seen his shows. The audience follows along on this wonderfully funny journey about growing up, mixed marriages, ex-wives, dogs, cats, dieting, and dozens of other side-splitting situations we can all relate to.
It’s described as “One part lasagna, one part kreplach, and two parts Prozac,” but you don’t have to be Jewish or Italian to love this show. All you need is to know what it feels like to leave a family dinner with heartburn and a headache! Thirty five people, one toilet and one plunger.
My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! performances are May 4th -8th, May 10th, May 12th -15th, May 17th-22nd Tickets are $40-$45 and available at the South Orange Performing Arts Center Box Office at One SOPAC Way, in South Orange, NJ or online at http://www.sopacnow.org/.

About the Star and Author
For Steve Solomon, the road to a career in comedy began during his childhood in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, where he picked up the many accents and dialects he heard on the streets of his multi-ethnic neighborhood. This self-professed “class clown” grew up to become a physics teacher and an assistant superintendent of schools. Steve used humor, dialects, and sound effects to inspire his students and tick off his fellow administrators. Eventually, however, Solomon felt the irresistible urge to follow his heart and write comedy. He returned to his roots to write the autobiographical one-man show: My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! The show played for two sold-out years in New York City and has toured internationally in more than 100 cities. It spun off three sequels, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m STILL in Therapy! and My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m Home for the Holidays. He’s quite proud of his newest hit show: CANNOLI, LATKES & GUILT….the therapy continues! All four of his shows are currently touring.
The show is produced by On Cue Entertainment.
