7:00 p.m. - Program
Twice the holidays! Twice the hollering! Twice the guilt!...My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m In Therapy! is Steve Solomon’s smash hit comedy inspired by his hilarious family and all the people in his life whose sole purpose is to drive him into therapy…and they succeeded.  With what the New York Post describes as “perfect comedic timing” this hit walks you through something we can all relate to – family drama.  One part lasagna, one part kreplach and two parts prozac, you don’t have to be Jewish or Italian to see this show. All you need is to know what it feels like to leave a family dinner with heartburn and a headache.
Tickets for the MY MOTHER’S ITALIAN, MY FATHER’S JEWISH, AND I’M IN THERAPY! are on sale now and can be purchased online at BlumenthalCenter.org, by phone at 704-372-1000, or from the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center Box Office located in the Tryon Street lobby of the Belk Theater.
