Lauderdale, the Brentwood Theatre in Los Angeles, the Hilton and Resorts International Hotels and Casinos in Atlantic City, the Winter Garden in Toronto and the Place des Arts in Montreal.
Steve’s one-man show tells the story of his life with an Italian mother and Jewish-American father. During World War II his parents met in Europe and fall in love but, being from different cultures, they were not able to predict the potential for misunderstandings. Steve also explains how he shifted from a prosperous career as a school administrator to a performer, whose job is to narrate stories about his unique, blended and funny family. www.italianjewishtherapy.com
