and The Lyric Theatre in Stuart
January 6th, 2015

South Florida favorite Steve Solomon’s shows are Politically Incorrect –
and he’s proud of it!

Delray Beach, December 2014:
Steve SolomonSteve Solomon will bring his new hit show, Cannoli, Latkes & Guilt…The Therapy Continues… to The Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre on January 3rd and 4th, 2015, and to the Lyric Theatre in Stuart on January 6th, 2015. Cannoli… is a perfect showcase for Solomon’s impressive comedic talent, his inimitable story-telling ability, and his funny and clever facility with words, accents, and sounds. The show is full of new stories – those familiar with Solomon’s earlier productions know his family consistently provides him with a goldmine of humor and humorous situations – as well as a compilation of some of the best of his earlier work. His previous shows include My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m STILL in Therapy, and Steve’s Holiday Show (and his personal favorite) My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish …. & I’m Home For the Holidays.

Steve Solomon’s humor is universal, and universally loved.  Enhanced by his talent for impersonation and his mastery of different dialects – he does approximately 20 different characters and voices in his shows – his stories about his mixed heritage Italian/Jewish family resonate with everyone, no matter what their ethnicity, and have delighted and entertained audiences for over 4000 performances.

Steve SolomonAnd as Solomon will tell you himself – he’s politically incorrect:
“Of course I am!  My entire family is politically incorrect; and that’s what helps make the shows so funny.  The very fact that we can go out to the theatre and spend an evening laughing at ourselves—and the antics of others – without fear of repercussion helps make this the great country it is!”

He will also tell you his shows are full of stereotypes:
“Yep,” he says, in answer to his ‘politically correct’ critics “That was my life; stereotypical Italian and Jewish aunts who spent the entire day in house dresses stirring sauces and soup.  Maybe they were stereotypes, but they were – they are – my family, and I’m only describing what I know… and love!

“In fact,” he continues, “Not once, in the 12 years my plays have been touring, have I ever received a complaint from a patron about how offended they were – indeed it’s usually the opposite.  I get dozens of e-mails and letters thanking me for the show and saying, ‘….that was my uncle….’  Or, ‘you nailed my Mom….’”  Or “…I think we grew up in the same house…”

Steve Solomon epitomizes the word ‘multifaceted’.  He is an accomplished pianist, composer, and lyricist; a member of MENSA, a painter and cartoonist (all his show logos are his own creations); a teacher – he has two Master’s degrees and an SDA and ABD degree in education and taught physics in Long Island, New York (where he eventually became Assistant to the Superintendent of Schools); and according to his wife he can fix anything except, according to Solomon, the way certain seniors drive in South Florida!

Tickets for Cannoli, Latkes & Guilt! The Therapy Continues…  are on sale now, and can be purchased by calling the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre at 561-243-7922 or on line at www.delrayarts.org .

Recent Praise for Steve Solomon’s Comedy:

“After the first time seeing Solomon and his work, I’d be happy to see him in anything.”
Shapiro on Theatre – December 10, 2014

“Judging from the riotous response at a recent performance, it is obvious that
Solomon has it right.”
Caryn Robbins—Broadway World

Pigs Do Fly Productions will hold two readings of humorous short plays at Coral Gables’ Books & Books on January 25th and February 1st.

The award-winning company commissioned top South Florida playwrights Michael McKeever and Michael Leeds to write for them, and their plays are among those scheduled to be read.

And several months ago Pigs Do Fly Productions also put out a call to playwrights from across the United States for submissions of 10-minute contemporary comedies written to highlight “vibrant, healthy people over 50 who are doing interesting things with their lives”. Over 300 plays were submitted and a committee of 6 took on the task of reading and rating each one.  The plays that will be read were rated the highest of the lot, and audiences will be asked for their input and their opinions at the end of each reading. The top five selections, along with the plays by McKeever and Leeds will form Pigs Do Fly’s next production, scheduled to take place in May at Andrews Living Arts.

They sing the hit songs of songwriter and saxophonist Jordan, whose new slant on jazz paved the way for rock and roll in the 1950s. Five Guys Named Moe is ‘an exhilarating, all-embracing theatrical experience, complete with some uproarious audience participation that’ll have spectators leaping out of their seats to join the celebration!’

The play’s tagline is “Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives, and in-laws, but were afraid to admit.” I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is the second longest running off-Broadway musical in history.

playbill_2269_23137839 copyJohn Peterson will return to the Stage Door Theatre in George M. Cohen Tonight! (March 20 to April 26, 2015, Theatre 2) an upbeat one-man play about the beloved song and dance man George M. Cohan – capturing in 95 fast-moving minutes the essence of the man, his music, and the fabulous era of show business he came up in.  A dazzling showcase for a song-and-dance man with flair. Peterson, who has received rave reviews everywhere he has performed this show, channels a swift, colorful portrayal of this most fiercely American musical figure. Peterson, played the Emcee in a recent Broadway revival of Cabaret, starred in Stage Door’s production of Song Man Dance Man two years ago.

11-12_BBC_Bell, Book, and Candle (May 15 to June 21, 2015, Theatre 2) In this fun and sexy romantic comedy, we meet Gillian Holroyd, a beautiful and lively free spirit – who also happens to be a witch. Frustrated by a lack of romance in her life and smitten by her handsome neighbor, she “helps things along” by casting a spell. But will she give into the one thing that will take away her magical powers forever? One of John van Druten’s greatest comedy successes, Bell, Book, and Candle has been called “…completely enchanting—a wonderfully suave and impish fantasy.” (New York Times).

Princess_PeaThe overbearing Queen has already determined whom her precious sonny boy, Prince Handsome, will marry. So when a muddy and very dirty Princess Jasmine catches the Prince’s eye unexpectedly, the Queen insists she pass the “pea under the mattress” test to prove she really is a princess. Only it’s not one thin mattress we’re talking about here, it’s thirteen mattresses, four feather comforters, and eight queen-size pillows! And not only that, but Jasmine wears ear muffs, a night mask, and is very, very tired! Does Jasmine pass the extremely unfair princess test? A comic jester, a rather confused king and a pompous announcer add to the merriment.

DroodThis wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience kicks off when the Music Hall Royale (a hilariously loony Victorian musical troupe) “puts on” its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Dickens mystery. The story itself deals with John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. Now, Miss Bud is, in turn, engaged to Jasper’s nephew, young Edwin Drood. Our title character disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve – but has Edwin Drood been murdered? And if so, then whodunnit?

voom_banner2012-1[1][1]Breathing life into ancient texts and told this time from the point of view of the women, In The Voice of Our Mothers reveals the intimate and powerful narratives of our Biblical matriarchs. As they invite us into their worlds, we see we are in familiar territory. Here are generations of women, learning, risking, and loving in all its complicated forms. We witness their journey through deserts of discovery, moving with audacity towards that female dance of freedom on the other side of the sea, which is no longer there. A joyous theatrical event filled with dance, tambourines, and the ancient sounds of the shofar. A talkback with the author will take place after the production.

South Florida Favorite Steve Solomon to perform 3 different comedy shows in 3 different venues this season.

Copy of NEW_HEAD_JPGSteve Solomon’s
award winning performances are a delicious mix of
comedy, cultures, and political incorrectness!

Steve Solomon has a busy South Florida winter ahead.  He will perform his Stand Up comedy at the Lyric Theatre in Stuart, on December 3rd; a prequel to his wildly successful My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish, & I’m in Therapy aptly and appropriately called My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m STILL in Therapy…the Chaos Continues…  will play from December 18th through December 22nd at the  Kravis Center for the Performing Arts – returning there by popular demand after last year’s sold out run; and his new show, Cannoli, Latkes & Guilt! The Therapy Continues… will open at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts and run from February 5th through February 16th.

STANDUP SHOT 1Solomon’s humor is universal, and universally loved.  Enhanced by his talent for impersonation and his mastery of different dialects – he does approximately 20 different characters and voices in his shows – his stories about his mixed heritage Italian/Jewish family resonate with everyone, no matter what their ethnicity, and have had audiences in stitches for over 3200 performances.  In fact his recent performances of Still in Therapy broke all box office and attendance records in the 28 year history of the Bristol Riverside Theatre in Philadelphia.

And as Solomon will tell you himself – he’s politically incorrect: bristol still steve on set
“Of course I am!  My entire family is politically incorrect; and that’s what helps make the shows so funny.  The very fact that we can go out to the theatre a spend an evening laughing at ourselves—and the antics of others – without fear of pending imprisonment helps make this the great country it is – or used to be before the hordes of  the politically correct police came banging on our doors.”

gpo_a2-d7k_8722He will also tell you his shows are full of stereotypes:
“Yep,” he says, in answer to his ‘politically correct’ critics “That was my life; stereotypical Italian and Jewish aunts who spent the entire day in house dresses stirring sauces and soup.   Since I’m describing my family as they were, why should anyone be offended by the stereotypes I portray when the people who ARE the stereotypes don’t get offended?

“In fact,” he continues, “Not once, in the 11 years my plays have been touring, have I ever received a complaint from a patron about how offended they were – indeed it’s usually the opposite.  I get dozens of e-mails and letters thanking me for the show and saying, ‘….that was my uncle….’  Or, ‘you nailed my Mom….’”  “…I think we grew up in the same house…”

Steve Solomon epitomizes the phrase ‘multi-faceted’.  He is an STAND UP SHOT 2 (4)accomplished pianist, composer, and lyricist; a member of MENSA, a painter and cartoonist (all his show logos are his own creations); a teacher – he has two Master’s degrees and an SDA and ABD degree in education and taught physics in Long Island, New York (where he eventually became Assistant to the Superintendent of Schools); and according to his wife he can fix anything except, according to Solomon, the way certain seniors drive in South Florida!

Solomon, who lives in Boynton Beach, is extremely happy to be performing again in his own ‘stomping grounds’: “Why do I come back to the Kravis Center or the Lyric or Coral Springs? The people! South Florida has some of the most sophisticated and delicious audiences in the country—they love to laugh and I love to perform for them. It’s that simple!”

Tickets for all performances are on sale now.  Please see the list below for performance venues, dates, times, and ticket prices.
