MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN, MY FATHER'S JEWISH AND I'M IN THERAPY will end its run at the Charlotte's Booth Playhouse on March 21st. The production is presented by the Blumenthal Performing Arts center.

Steve's two-time award winning MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN, MY FATHER'S JEWISH AND 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.

Described by Variety as a cross between Don Rickles, George Carlin and Billy Crystal, Solomon introduces audience to people that they are all too familiar with - the family members that make them remember why they left home in the first place. He shares nuances into the personalities of the dozens of characters audiences will meet along the way. Case in point: Steve's sister, "The Smoker." The, "She can do no wrong in the eyes of Mama....." sister. The, "Why can't you get good grades like your sister?... sister. The, "How come she cleans up her room so nice and you can't?"...sister.

A native of Brooklyn, Steve grew up in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. As the class clown, 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. 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.

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 AND I'M IN THERAPY.

The Booth Playhouse is located at 130 North Tryon St. Charlotte, NC 28202.
