The international hit comedy MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN, MY FATHER'S JEWISH & I'M IN THERAPY!, featuring actor/comedian Ron Tobin, comes to the Del Valle Theater, 1963 Tice Valley Road in Walnut Creek for a 3-week engagement, March 12- 29, 2015.

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! ran for two years in New York City, has toured internationally to more than 200 cities & sold more than 750,000 tickets so far.

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! (& they succeeded!) The author, whose mother is from Palermo and whose father is from Russia, grew up as one of two siblings in Brooklyn, NY.

The show stars veteran actor and comedian Ron Tobin, who performed extended engagements of the show in San Diego, Philadelphia, Phoenix, & Baltimore. He has hosted cable TV's Late Night 'Laffs' with Ron Tobin, Comedy on the Bay and Showtime Comedy Club Network.

The production was awarded "Favorite New Play" by Broadway.com and won the "Broadway Theater Fans Choice Award" on BroadwayWorld.com. The show was also nominated for awards by The Connecticut Critics Circle and the San Francisco Drama Desk.

The show is produced by Philip Roger Roy & Dana Matthow.
