MY MOTHER’S ITALIAN... I’M IN THERAPY! Plays Herberger Theater

The international hit comedy MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN, MY FATHER'S JEWISH & I'M IN THERAPY!, featuring Ron Tobin, will come to the Herberger Theater, 222 E. Monroe, for a 5-week engagement, January 18 through February 19.

Described as "One part lasagna, one part kreplach, and two parts Prozac," 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! MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN, MY FATHER'S JEWISH & I'M IN THERAPY! played for two years in New York City and has toured internationally in more than 100 cities.

Written by award-winning author Steve Solomon, the hilarious one-man comedy is based on his life growing up in a wacky family noted for its bi-ethnic diversity and aptitude for dysfunctional behavior, and all the people in his life whose sole purpose was to drive him into therapy! The author, whose mother is from Palermo and whose father is from Russia, grew up as one of two siblings in Brooklyn, NY.
