Steve Solomon Returns to The Bushnell with MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN, MY FATHER'S JEWISH & I'M STILL IN THERAPY
Hartford, CT – March 16, 2010 – In this hysterical prequel, 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. The ALL NEW SHOW My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm STILL In Therapy will be in The Bushnell's Belding Theater Saturday, May 1, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.
Variety says “Steve is Alan King, Billy Crystal, a smidgen of Don Rickles and George Carlin all thrown in,” while WOR Radio calls the show “an hour and a half of laughter, hysterically funny!” Having headlined throughout the United States and Europe for over twenty years, Steve’s stories relate to the wacky side of the human condition.
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.
