It’s that time of the year again … a time of peace, a time of joy, a time of remembering why you left home in the first place. Steve’s back with more wild and hilarious stories and characterizations about his family, friends and the other folks we met whose sole purpose was to drive him into therapy in the first place. We all get to attend holiday dinner at Grandma’s where, if you are under 55, you’re allowed to sit at the children’s table. It’s another laugh filled evening of family chaos from the award-winning writer and comedian, Steve Solomon. STEVE SOLOMON To say that an evening spent with Steve Solomon is like being with a dear, funny friend, is an understatement. In truth, an evening with Steve is more like being with dozens of hilarious friends and eccentric members of your own family. Steve has taken the art of impersonation and honed it into a science. He masterfully weaves different dialects and crazy characters into his stories. These tales take on a life of their own as Steve recounts memorable moments from his past and makes hysterical observations on timely topics. A native of Brooklyn, Steve grew up in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. This was the perfect training ground for a dialectician. As the class clown and as a very authentic sounding Chinese restaurant delivery boy, 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 stories - real 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. Using humor, dialects and sound effects in teaching, Steve was a real life version of Gabe Kaplan’s “Welcome Back Kotter.” Eventually, Steve became a Physics teacher and a school administrator on Long Island, New York. He left his academic career behind and turned his attention to his latent love of making people laugh. As Steve puts it, “I decided to follow my heart and become an impoverished comedy writer and performer.” Steve’s last show, the two-time award winning MY MOTHER’S ITALIAN, MY FATHER’S JEWISH & I’M IN THERAPY has met with rave reviews to sold out crowds throughout the country and became one of the longest running one-man comedy shows in history. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is Steve’s newest pet project, as this hilarious show highlights the very best of his talents. Once again, we meet the people that we’re all too familiar with; the family members that make you remember why you left home in the first place. This time, however, we get to see greater nuances into the personalities of the dozens of characters we’ll meet along the way: Their personalities (or lack of), their feeding habits and their instinctive ability to turn total joy into relentless but hysterical chaos. It’s a laugh-filled fest of everybody you know, have known and some you’d want to forget but can’t - all brought to life on stage by the comic magic of Steve Solomon. Just when you thought it was safe to go back home for the Holidays, Steve brings us this new 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 & I’M HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS……..The Therapy Continues. After meeting Steve’s family....you’ll leave wondering why more states don’t have capital punishment. 2 Andrew Rogow (Director ) holds a BFA from New York University and an MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT MY MOTHER’S ITALIAN, MY FATHER’S JEWISH AND I’M HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS… We’ll meet: Uncle Willie, Stuttering Cousin Bob, Demented Cousin Kenny, Steve’s new therapist Cousin Sal (and Sal’s parole officer) and a myriad of astounding characters we know, love and tolerate from our own families; each one brought to life on stage by Steve using his gift for creating voices, dialects and wacky sound effects that only add to the hilarity of each story. Variety says “Steve is Alan King, Billy Crystal, a smidgen of Don Rickles and George Carlin all thrown in,” while WOR Radio calls the show “an hour and a half of laughter, hysterically funny!” Having headlined throughout the United States and Europe for over twenty years, Steve’s stories relate to the wacky side of the human condition. “HYSTERICALLY FUNNY!

  • ALLAN HARRIS TRIO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS of NAT KING COLE Internationally Renowned Vocalist, Guitarist, and Composer Returns to the Lone Tree Arts Center
    10075 Commons St. Lone Tree CO 80124 www.lonetreeartscenter.org Contact: Leigh Chandler, Marketing Director FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Phone: 720-509-1007 October 9, 2019 Fax: 720-509-1101 Email: [email protected] ALLAN HARRIS TRIO CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF NAT KING COLE Internationally Renowned Vocalist, Guitarist, and Composer Returns to the Lone Tree Arts Center LONE TREE, CO – Allan Harris returns to the Arts Center to honor the 100th birthday of Nat King Cole. Over the past 20 years, Harris has steadily developed his reputation as one of the finest vocalists of his era. Brooklyn-born and Harlem-based, he has forged his sterling credentials through his ten previous albums, covering a broad range of contexts, all netted together within the rich territory of the jazz tradition. With this performance, Harris honors the legacy of Nat King Cole, singing favorites and lesser- known gems that will make for an “Unforgettable” evening. Allan Harris Trio: 100 Years of Nat King Cole plays the Lone Tree Arts Center on Friday, November 1, 2019 at 8pm. Ever since he burst on the jazz scene in the latter part of the twentieth century, vocalist/guitarist/ bandleader/composer Allan Harris has reigned supreme as one of the most accomplished and exceptional singers of his generation. Aptly described by the Miami Herald as an artist blessed with “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat ‘King' Cole,” the ample and aural evidence of Harris’ moving and magisterial artistry can be heard on his fourteen recordings as a leader, as well as his far-flung and critically-acclaimed concerts around the world, from Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, and Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center, to the 2012 London Olympics.

  • Great Entertainers
    Great Entertainers Judy Garland Judy Garland Judy Garland was a little Mozart of song and dance who led a dazzling and extraordinary life. Though forever remembered as the wistful little Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz going up The Yellow Brick Road and singing ‘Over the Rainbow’, it was her plaintive quality, her humour, her ability to be dramatic and send herself up that made her a unique artist. Tender love songs, torrid torch songs, quiet songs, noisy songs, songs with a swing to them, songs with a sentimental strain to them, she could do them all. She hoofed it with Mickey Rooney, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire whilst belting out some of Hollywood’s greatest songs. She was a natural. Her abilities came so easily, so naturally, that she came to doubt them. Suffering from stage-fright and emotional problems, she exasperated everyone around her with her ab- sences and lateness, but she needed little rehearsal time and all would be forgiven when she produced a moment of magic. On stage she was a tiny, stocky figure, so where-in lay the magic? Innocent of any artful management, she sang directly to her audience, able to convey the joy and heartrending pathos of human existence: “She sang, not to your ears, but to your tear ducts.” And with her gift for self-mockery and sense of the ridicu- lous, she had an ability to rise above adversity and carry on. Her highly-publicised life of suicide attempts, broken marriages and neurotic battles with weight and sleep seemed to draw affec- tion from her audiences, yet it was her gaiety, passion, and huge, warm dramatic voice that seized her audiences and filled theatres around the world.

One time when Rabbi Broka was walking through the bustling BETSY & HOWARD market place of his city, Elijah accompanied him. Seeing GOLAN all of the bustle and hustle of the city market place, being in honor of the Bar Mitzvah impressed with its intense activity with the large crowd of people, Rabbi Broka of their son turned to Elijah and asked him if any of the people within the market were destined to enter heaven.

I also extend my many thanks to Jason M. Kelly and Monroe H. Little for helping me hone in on my specific arguments in this writing. I am grateful for all the love and support from my friends and family that suffered through my many verbal digressions which made comedy much less funny for them. I must also give thanks to all the rebellious comedians I have idolized over the years including George Carlin, whose career indirectly influenced this thesis, and whose HBO comedy specials engendered in me a love of stand-up comedy and warped my young impressionable mind during the 1980s.
